    Default Bending horn (back again...)

    OK. A little while back I asked how you guys recommend bending horn. I got replies that basically involved heat gently, then clamp flat till cool. Since I do not have a heat gun (as cheap as they might be, I never got around to buying one), so I opted for the hot water trick. After having sanded the scales clean (but not to the finished polish), I put them in a pot of water, brought the water to a boil, removed them.

    I then put them together and clamped them between 2 metal rulers. I'm thinking that I might need to redo this and clamp them individually to the metal surface. It 'somewhat' corrected the bend, but it is still slightly there.

    Also, since then I have slathered superglue on the edges and cracks for reinforcement.

    My question is, do you think that boiling the scales with dried superglue would be a problem? Should I sand down the glue first?

    Thanks!

    P.S. YES, this is ANOTHER razor I am trying to restore. I have been bitten by the restoration bug!!
