    Have you tried shaving it off with a sharp blade? Don't know knowing that is something commonly done? That is how I work acrylic and horn. I tend to take to much off with sanders. I chalk it up to operator error and inexperience om my end. Maybe I am old fashioned and like to do things by hand.It is kind of like Paul Faus and his honing therapeutic and relaxing.

    This stuff No Way

    But yes I have tried just about every option you can think of over the years for just about every material we have found for scales

    I have a pretty fool proof method now, someplace on here I did a thread about it LOL imagine that Glen doing a thread about restoration techniques

    If I remember the name "Thinning Material" or some such I will link it
