Thread: Fixing broken scales

Sad to see... (see pic)

These scales have next to no wear on them... save for the broken tips at the pivot pin. What I'm wanting to do it squar off the ends, attach new tips and line the back of the scales with a thin liner to suport the attachment.

One thought was to thin the full sacle and line it so they are somewhat even, but worry that may eat up the sides of the scale. I'm at a loss for what to line the scale with at the moment. Looking for something thin and strong enough to suport the new piece at the pivot. I may just toss the back scale and put a generic, matching color scale to the tip, and go with a two tone job...

Just seems a shame to loose suck a nice scale
