Pivot end was done a little different.
First was to build a shallow bed on the wax paper, then lay the flat side of the scales on it, then buried the end of the scales with soda.
Glue and spray with accelerator, sand flat side first, put pins through holes and sand shape.

Ta Daaa.!!
Sorry guys something went wrong, all information is gone, and alot of pics are out of order.
Really pissed off, took me better part of an hour putting this post together[emoji35] [emoji35] [emoji35]
Well the end result still looks good.
I've got a pair of ivory scales that I need to repair, but I'm still trying to get the color mix correct. Next time I go to the dentist I'm going to see if they can do a color match for me.
Its pretty close to ivory!
Dosent seem brittle either
Clever use of the soda as a filler/binder Mike!
Looks good Outback.
Not my idea, just adapted it to razors[emoji57]Quote:

Great post anyway.
Great job on those scales as always......
You do some KICK A$$ work!!!
:chapeau:chapeau
Worked awesome on my guitar nut. I've discovered that this works better with the thin CA glue because the regular doesn't soak in as easily. I tried it with a little pile of Bakelite filings but it never really hardened. I'll keep looking to find something black that I can mix it with.
You could use ink from a jet printer possibly
Try this black pigment sold by Brownell's. I use it with Acraglass and CA and other epoxies. This can is probably 20 years old. A little goes a long way. It's not a filler. Only for color. In fact too much can impede the hardening process.Quote:

If you have more than 10 photos, just reply to you own post once you load the first 10 and you can load another 10 photos in the reply post. You can keep doing so for a long post and unlimited photos, 10 at a time. Copy and paste your text where you want it.
If you plan it all out and number your photos sequentially, you can up load a long post in a couple of minutes with everything in order and formatted.
I write the text in word, spell check, then copy to notepad and that will reformat the text so all your formatting and spacing remains as you see it when you paste it in the post.
Just a little planning will save you a lot of headaches and disappearing text.
Its the first time I've encountered this problem. And shortly after , my key pad quit working for a whole day. So it must have been a technical problem going on
