Has anyone ever tried....

I was recently in a situation that is near and (unfortuantely not) dear to the hearts of razor restorers - cracked celluloid scales. I tried all kinds of glues including CA - all with unsatisfactory results. I then created my own formulation for a celluloid glue, which is approximately 1 part fragmented celluloid bits to 2 parts pure acetone. Believe it or not it worked like a charm. I think I'm gonna call it: AcetoCellulotic Goop. If, that is, I invented it. If not, I'll call it whatever it's supposed to be called. Has anyone out there ever used this formulation or anything close to it?

Celluloid, AKA cellulose nitrate and camphor, check out section 3 of the MSDS for Duco brand cement. You have made home-made cement.

Your method of mixing at home may be a good way to get the proper color match for the repairs. I have never thought of that way, till now. Thanks for the thought provoking post.
