Thread: Horn Scale Repair

Finished this up today. Pics of final sanding and buff.
The results are not quite what I hoped - a few bubbles and a man made bug bite - but useable nonetheless.
In hindsight making new scales would be easier but had to try & save it.

Now for the blade. A new thread for it I think.


Just realised I titled this thread Bone Scale Repair when it should have been Horn... Dohhh!!
Too late to change it I suppose,

Compared to your before pictures, I think it came out rather well...........

Nice work !!!! and it is changed for you (Horn)

Thanx again guys & Thanx Glen, for the correction. I do know the difference ... no really

Thanks for the pictures. I think the color match was great, it is a bear color matching translucent objects.
I think the before and after are pretty amazing.
Great thread.

No worries Charlie & Thank You.
I suppose I'm my own biggest critic but it just makes me try harder.
If any one wants to try the glue it's called Epi-Glue. It's a 2:1 marine epoxy and makes an incredibly strong bond but maybe 24 hour Araldite would work. Similar colour I think but no where near as strong.
