    Default Coloring Discolored Horn Scales

    Hi All,

    A quick question. We all know that black horn scales fade and lose some of their color over time; I was wondering if it is possible to re-blacken them? What would you use to do it - stain, ink, shoe polish? Or is it not possible?
    Forgive my photography, here's a picture of the kind of discolouration I'm talking about.

    Thanks for your help.

    I love the smell of shaving cream in the morning!
