Unless you created some serious undercuts and cast the RTV in to the scales, I think you'd have to reinforce it with a pin. The RTV I've used is too brittle though. It deteriorates pretty badly after a few years.

Interesting thought though.

I've thought about those reconstituted stones. Glad you're trying it and not me. I was going to back em with silver thinking the flex might actually be a good thing. After more thought I settled on Aluminum backing and the stone as an insert only. This was all theory, of course as I quickly moved on to other projects.

Look forward to your results
