Thread: How to separate glued scales

Try using Scotch "Permanent" double sided tape when working with wood and plastic scales to stick the blanks together before shaping.

You should be able to find it in any office supply chain store.

The tape is strong enough to keep the scales together while working on them, but weak enough to seperate them and remove the adhesive from the inside surface when you're done.

Just carefully insert an exacto knife (or the equivalent) blade in the crack and gently pry the scales apart.
