Thoughts on horn scale repair on big 'ol "Barbers Use" Elliot?

[SteveS]

I recently got this 8/8++ Joseph Elliot "For Barber's Use" razor on ebay. It seems to have seen very little use; it has essentially no hone wear and the scales seem very salvageable, so I'd like to try to restore it to its past glory.

The scales have been damaged by stress/impact where the sides of the blade stressed the scales outward and at one point on the back edge of one scale. No horn material is missing, but the scales are a little deformed at both points of impact. I'd like to get the scales back to their original shape and reinforce them.

I have two ideas and would appreciate comments and other ideas:
(1) Saturate the damaged areas with CA and push the damaged areas back into their original shape while the CA sets. Would it work? If so, what would be a good material to use to exert pressure on the scales during this process (so it doesn't stick to the CA as it sets)?
(2) Line the scales with something and bond the horn to the lining. This would provide a surface which would support the damaged areas and (hopefully) hold deformed areas in their original positions. What would be a suitable liner and what should I use to bond the horn to it?

Thanks for your thoughts, gents. I'm really excited about the potential of this razor, even if it isn't a more highly coveted W&B of similar name and dimensions.
