Thanked: 13234I like Steam the best as it is accurate and easy to use
By doing this on a Brass plate I can adjust as needed, I do it 3-4 times and let the Katalin relax slowly and cool it under cold water to hold
If I want I can add a Tin Funnel over the pot and get a direct jet of super heated steam to adjust Horn, Bone, Ivory.. It just works for me pretty easy..
The Brass acts as a heat sink and keeps everything even
Been using a Hot Oil Bath for Straightening Raw Horn slabs, that has been working REALLY well, I will do a write up here soon

Why do you call the material Katalin when I call it celluloid, Glen?

Thanked: 13234It is all types of Celluloid, Bakelite, or Formed Phenolics (phenol formaldehyde)
But much like they are all Thurigens but some are Eschers and we make that distinction
The Cracked Ice or Swirled type is often referred to as Catalin or Katalin by collectors..

I always thought Catalin was the clear type on the Adoration De-Luxe? Indeed, sounds better than celluloid!

I am going to de-scale a few I have in cracked-ice/tortoise celluloid to clear-coat them and see if they do not last longer.
Them Goldedge scales....
May be a good candidate as they are unpinned and straightened?Last edited by sharptonn; 06-09-2017 at 02:04 AM.

A few Old Hess razors and such. Thin lamination of white inside, like the Goldedges.
