Thread: Desired distance between spacer and blade?

They are not as hard on the blade in that regard, for the most part. The shrinkage does not seem to be contagious like rot.
I have one too which has fallen to the HHB.
I soak the scales in silicone every year, say some words. Keep it in a good environment. Cross my fingers.....


Anyway....This thread is from 2009.....

We are slightly wandering but I think that is good.

I have a Hess that is a carbon copy that I don't think has these issues.

I will have to dig it out in the morning!

If it is that pearl celluloid, it has the tendencies. So do the Goldedges. Lots of others.
On the Imps,I WILL say the Morris and Ludo Imps don't seem to be as bad.
I think the difference is the environment seems to either slow or accelerate it?

Where was THIS kept and WHY are you putting it on Ebay?

Somehow it jumped up on my front page, I just replied. I hadn't even looked at the date. Har.!

Hey things change over the years, at least its up dated to show a , "How to". now.

Yup, shrinkage is/can be an early indicator of cell rot.

Keep an eye on them.
