    I was thinking about doing that but , for the reason you point out I was hesitant. I'd hate to do all that work then spoil it.

    Sanded, repairs requiring epoxy, file/sand repairs with 220, 600, 000 steel wool.

    Wipe clean with denatured alcohol, let dry.
    Mix up dye, place scales in 1qt. Ziploc bag and cover with entire contents of dye, solution. Gently mix contents, making sure all gets coated. This is the most set's I've ever done, all at once. Curious if I shouldn't have used two boxes of dye. Dunno, pretty mean stuff, definitely recommend disposable gloves. It comes with a set, but I barely get my fingers in them. Made for a woman, I presume.

    Oh holy crap.! The transgenders will have one more thing to whine about.!

    It took a little work but he got it set up and working correctly. He can print razor stands and scales and all kinds of stuff. I'm totally stoked for some scales.
    I asked my son to print me a small bust of Martin Luther.

    Maybe I should have been more specific?
