I found all the pieces of the scale so I'll be able to super glue them back together, but kind of frustrating. Glad I was wearing my safety glasses, could have been more than frustrating. So I guess this project will take a little more time. I'll post pics of the cutter and scale tomorrow, I need to let this one sit a bit.
Depending on how they broke, you may need more than adhesive. If the flex of the scales puts pressure on the break it may not hold.
I know Outback made a channel for toothpicks on the inside of broken celuloid scales for additional support.
