Thread: A question about custom scales ....

Hello all,

Today i have been working on some old decrepit razors trying to salvage what i can.

This is a scale that i have a question about.




This is a design that many of us have seen before. But ..... i took it to the buffer with some black buffing compound and the result was surprising .....



The buffing compound obviously became embedded in the pattern but what struck me was the level of detail that became apparent.

This reminded me of the multi color scales we have seen from makers like Tadross.

So, does anyone have a suggestion on how i can make the black color permanent?
