Help - Suggestions for removing and reintalling inlays
Hello everyone,
I am seeking any suggestions for removing and reinstalling the inlay shown on this razor.

It appears to be brass and as you can see it was tarnished but I cleaned it up well and would now like to remove it and reinstall it on the new scales I made up.
Would my best option be to dip the scales in acetone until it becomes free?
Do I just let it soak until free or do I gently pry it?
To re-install it on the new scales which are black Micarta,
Is it best to use epoxy applied with a needle or is there a better procedure?
I also was thinking, maybe to affix it with a small amount of Elmer's and then applying a coat of finish or glaze epoxy. This may be where I am leaning.
I appreciate all of your input and thoughts.
Thank you in advance,
Phil
