    Default Dubl Duck Inlays on Wood

    How do you get the inlays off a dubl duck and how would you apply them to wood scales so they look as if they are in the wood?

    You get them off using Acetone as to putting them back on it is an art form
    Floppyshoes and I are in the midst of doing a combined thread on how we do them.....
    The acetone will dissolve the celluloid so be careful using it, make sure you don't want the old scales....

    be careful with the inlays because they are very thin almost like a brass foil. They can be damaged very easily.

    I think Vlad put them on using successive layers of CA until there was a smooth finish from brass to wood. I'm very keen to see how these restos work out!
