Thread: Celluloid Scale Rot I.D. and Repair?

I had one bad case of rot on a razor in a lot. The scales were hopeless and just crumbled when I tried to work with them. I recently worked on a dbl duck that had a similar spot as you described. I had to unpin the blade any so it was easy to get to the spot. I sanded the area down until it looked healthy. As it didn't look like it was going to spread, I coated the area with a polymer car wax. If it had been worse, I was prepared to give a dab of shellac or something other then CA. I didn't want to take a chance on the CA coming out the other side. That has been awhile and I've not heard back from the customer, so I guess it worked.
