    Might look into some of the black epoxys used for bedding rifle actions.The key to any fix is to get that crack cleaned 100%
    Some dawn detergent in hot water,in an ultrasonic,than allow to dry for several days may be the ticket.

    The shipping is more than the brushes but I bought mine at the store.

    I think the clamping is the critical part of your fix. The mess will sand or scrub off later.

    I think that would would but would be asking for more trouble later on if you want to use those scales on another blade

    I was just being jovial as to the comment about gluing the wedge on the cracked scale for reinforcement- nice idea and if the scales may be used on a different razor there shouldn't be any issues at all. The one scale would still be free to swing out of the way for ease of slipping the blade in and out. If the new blade is just a tad longer and causes issues at the wedge end then a simple solution is to just sand or file the glued wedge down, make and install another. Better yet, find scales that fit without the hassle
