    Default Replacing Covered Tangs

    I’m working on restoring a razor with missing tang covers. Any creative ideas on how to cheaply create new covers for this razor? Thanks.

    You have to replace the covers, I have used acrylic on most, but Ivory Micarta and Micarta in general works really nice too

    I have seen them done with wood but you better make sure it is waterproof...

    Them ‘there are some nice looking scales, Glen!

    Thanks for the quick response. I will experiment. I have some Micarta pieces I can play with.

    Nice scales Glen. Can you tell me where you got the acrylic material? I like the red. I think I saw a set in blue that Max did somewere in this forum.

    I don't know what to say, diyguy.
    I have one sitting in oil now for 6 months, just like yours. I will follow this thread to see what they suggest for you; then I will have some ideas.
