    Sweet Mike. I currently have the fast setting kind which is good and bad depending on what you use it for. It will get harder after a few days; I mean like rock hard.

    Should have used the pens before the first coat but I wasn't sure if it would be needed until after the first coat was sanded out.

    Still need to buff but the shape is right (except that little chip on the back edge that the patch missed. I may just leave that) and the color is right and no obvious patching.

    Filling in some chips n bug bites, on a few of these scales for Nippers goodies.

    Tathra had also PMd me about how I go about this. Sooo.

    Sand the scales with 220 grt. wet/dry. Removing as much of the dry/weathered horn as possible. Careful.! Don't get um too thin, only within reason.

    I've sanded the crap out of quite a lot of um, and still not thinned them out much. Like this sweet set.

    Can't wait to see how they are, after they come out of the oil bath.

    After sanding, wipe clean with denatured alcohol. Then apply pieces of scotch tape to the outside of the scales, over the repair areas. I do it this way, so the tape acts as a mold to hold the epoxy while I work it in with a toothpick.

    BTW... This is how I repair the edges of scales, that have chips, bug bites, or where blades have smashed into them when closing, causing damage.

    Hope that helps ya Tathra

    Note for those that don't know..!!

    If your going to dye your scales...do not do any repairs using CA.
    DYE WILL NOT PENETRATE, AND CAUSE FISH EYES IN YOUR FINISH. !!!!!

    They'll be FUBAR.!

    I save the CA till after the dye, then bring the scales to a gloss finish, instead of the matte black, look.

    My preferred hair dye.
