Thread: What are you working on?

Here is a continuation of the last video. I did not want to put too many video's in one post. I should have put parts 1, 2 & 3 in this post but you can see that this can be applied to what we do also.

Very informative about the use of the different viscosities of CA & accelerator but can be used on scales.

Yes, the use of the accelerator, cures it instantly. I could see tiny air bubbles coming up through the CA, so i know it absorbed in into the bakalite dust, when it stopped, I sprayed with accelerator, hard as a rock.

I'd posted this and had asked if anyone had tried it using horn but I hadn't thought about Bakelite. The guy showing the repair had said that it would work with 'some' plastics.

It had appeared that he'd used a very thin super glue to perform the repair.

Please let us know more about the repair.

Roy.. Ive used baking soda and CA , to repair bone scales before , with very good results. Had to extend one that had deteriorated at the pivot end of the scale.

Worked very well.

I'm sending you all of my razors. thanks in advance!

Finished up the scales last night.

And after being asked by a fellow member to do this, I decided I would leave most of the patina.
Cut the rust from the tail, and rubbed it with some Never Dull, to clean it up a bit , without removing too much patina. Then pinned it up with silver collars n brass rod.

Another for the rocks. [emoji482]

Nice job Mike..way to save the age..
I could use one of those stache blades..
