Hi gang,
I have bought and used horn from various suppliers over the past few years.
All of it seems to be unstable as to length over a period of time. The only way my rescales seem to stay straight is when the razor is straight up and down in a stand or hanging from the tail from a magnet. ADn, yes, I do use the same side of the blank for the inside of both scales to reduce beding error over time.
Any one sided support seems to cause difficulties.

Is there a way to stabilize modern horn? I believe old horn was heat presed and tht caused cross linking of the chitan strands which prevented them sliding by each other due to outside factors like humidity.
Any ideas?
Thanks
