Thread: Making new pressed horn scales.

The red horn in my G Revil dip at toe thread was boiled at least 4 times. Each time it became gelatinous so much so that clamping it became an issue, involving grease proof paper, memory foam, to set them straight with no impressions.
I assume that 200 year old horn has had a structural breakdown that allows harsh treatments like boiling..
Very old horn could be an answer..
I do have a recipe for casting horn but I'm sure you have seen that one.. Also a recipe for moulding ivory..
Nice work by the way..
