Have I mentioned that this stuff stinks?
These scales stink, I mean really smell - especially if you try to MAAS them - wow.
Thanks for the suggestion - I may just need to do that - here is the kicker - I could live with the scales if they were the same color on both sides. But since the blades were only exposed to air and light on *one* side - the backs are pristine and deep black (looking every bit like the black shiny plastic scales you see on the lower end Dovos) while the top scales are bs brown to moss green - the razors were also never closed, so there is no encroachment by the celluloid gases onto the steel - the scales are actually in perfect shape - just discolored! Damnit!
At any rate - I will keep trying. Thanks for the response.
