Thread: Saran Wrap vs. Cell Rot?

Only celluloid scales rot like that.

There is no way to cure it or stop it or slow it. The scales have to be removed. It will eat the blade as soon as the sun will rise tomorrow.

Often times it starts slow and you can't see it on the scales but you see it on the blade with an area of rust that turns to pitting. It's a misconception the entire blade rusts at once or the scales smell or look deteriorating. Once you have unexplained rust on a blade and the scales are celluloid it's a good bet it's due to the scales gassing.
