    Important Hint:

    The "liner" MUST be more flexible than the scales, you are setting the material up for a Negative Bend or an Inside Bend, that means it wants to come off the material it is bonded to with every flex

    When gluing Metal liners creating what is called a "Mechanical Lock" will strengthen the bond this can be accomplished with a few holes in the metal and matching divots in the inside of the scale material..

    Be very aware of weight too, stropping and honing an off-balance razor is just tiresome, and awkward

    Epoxy is good, but the Bedding Glass used for Rifle Stocks is way better aka Accu-Glass and other names


    ps: i am a little confused/concerned with how flexible you are saying the scale material is
