I recently got a Puma razor with a rubber tang grip. The scales were pretty beat up and missing the inlay so need to be replaced and the grip has a couple tears in the corners. I found a few posts about people using heat shrink tubing and some putty stuff to replace them. I was wondering how those worked in the long run or if I should bust remove it and leave it off. Also wondering if there is a way to just seal the splits and if that is actually feasible. Any comment or opinions appreciated.
