Shaping G10 scales
Hey guys/gals, I'm working on my first ever start to finish razor restore, and so far have about 10 hours in hand sanding a Greaves wedge blade. I'm going to put some G10 scales on it, and have just a couple questions about shaping them down. From what I can gather here, getting them cut seems to be a chore. I've picked up a couple of metal cutting Jigsaw blades(can't find any metal cutting scroll saw blades around here) and will probably start on them in a few days. My question is this, are there any tips or pointers that any of you can give me to working with this stuff? I know to wear a respirator, but about shaping and sanding, is sandpaper enough? Also, how brittle is the material? Is it similar to acrylic that can crack pretty easily, or is it pretty durable. I know that's a couple of questions lol but I'd really appreciate any advice or tips you all can give. Thanks in advance. Blake
