Hi Gents.
Got a question to you betraying 1) my painfully slow progress to date; and 2) my total newbie status at this again.

Following the link in the stickies about how to makes scales:
- I cut out my scales (Padauk), sanded, etc.
- Cut out my spacer (Yellowheart), shaped it.
- Then glued the spacer to one of the scales as per the link.
- Fit the spacer and sanded so that it lined up perfectly with the two scales.
- I then applied the CA, to the scales (both the scale with the spacer attached, and the "free" scale) inside and out.
- Now, when I go to pin the scales, one of the scales has the spacer perfectly aligned (and sealed to it), but the build up of CA on the inside of the the spacer and the inside of the other scales has caused a slight gap and misalignment.

It just looks weird to have one scale have the spacer fully flush, while the other scale looks like an add on...so, what did I do wrong? I assumed you had to CA inside and out, all of the wood, so how do you get the spacer to look right like on all the restorations in the gallery?

Thanks for the help..."the hardest part is starting."
