Duble Duck Scales

I have acquired two Goldenedge Duble Ducks from ebay this past month. Both are fine except for one flaw. The scales are pinched in and do not have uniform openings and badly interfere with closing the razors. Any ideas how I might correct this? Would putting in spacers and then wrapping them tightly in brown paper and applying some heat from a hair dryer or some steam? Something like reblocking a hat.:shrug:

It's worth a short before rescaling. I didn't have much success with that though. That's why the Genco's out of commission until I make it a new set.

Gentle steaming and coxing appart with chop sticks or something similar will make the situation better. Too much steam will cloud the scales if they are clear. Too much coaxing could break them.
