Thread: Need Case Temperite 25 Scale Template & Polishing Question

be careful if using vinegar to add patina to a blade as i've had it actually make pits (that weren't there before) in the steel. I think bluing is the safer way to go(you can get it at places like Wal-mart, i think Birchwood Casey is the brand).As for the the scales i wonder if they weren't originally clear? If so, plexi-glass works well for that.
