As soon as I can get my hands on some more blades that need some TLC I am going to do more. I just have nowhere around my town or surrounding area that deals in razors. LOL But I am looking for some blades to restore.

What diameter bolts did you use ?

They are 0-80 X 1/2

Same as were used HERE.

Then after a few rounds of flexing it. I decided that I should try a drop test. So I started dropping it, and then after about 20 times, I got bored and started throwing it like a throwing knife at a chunk of wood. Still in one piece.

So then I knew I had to break it, and so I hit it with a pack axe. It broke!!!

So I think that by itself, it will stand up to normal use for scales.

Nice necropost. I wonder if anyone ever made scales with this stuff. I see that it would work - I just wonder if the scales would be desirable.

Here is what I got, and I know it looks bad, but it was just a test to see if it was strong enough by itself to make a scale from:

Wow. how did you get all those colors into the clay!(:-)
