I made a huge F$#$# Up from a chat with Xchris I asked him how to fight off rust building at the monkey tail he said dry blow it. so I took the dry blower but I was so tired already that day from working that I held the monkey tail to close to the dryer and the dryer was on highest setting Suddenly before my eyes I saw the end of my Scale turn black charcoal

I quickly took the razor away Darn you have no idea how Mad I got ! :mad:
I can sand it off im sure with a very high grit sandpaper but still got me the cold sweat !!!!!

Gee, sorry to hear about that, Rene! Hope you can get it fixed!

Reminds me of one of my own mistakes: I wanted to heat some scales that were bent a bit to remodel them. I thought they were plain plastic. They were celluloid which I started to recognize when the thing caught fire....

 

thanks Klaus, yes I remember your stunt aswell.

maybe bad shot but perhaps you can see the black at the end starting ...
Obvious The rust is a nasty place to get it to really clean would the Ultra Sonic clean off the rust ? I dont think it will with special cleaning fluid made for removing rust ?

The only thing I dont like about str8's very hard to keep them rust free ?

also posted an old SOS pic as you can see some nices scales that should be burned :mad:

 

oh dear, that looks bad. I can't recommend the ultrasonic. I use them on straights but you do have to use the hairdryer afterwards to clean the razor - especially inside the pin where the razor is fastened.
For this type of rust I recommend using a small brass (or steel) wheel for the Dremel - I use it all the time.

Rene,

Sorry to hear that my advice caused you grief. I, too, have scorched celluloid scales with too much heat and remaining stationary in one place with the dryer. I'd contact Joe to determine what's the best way for cleaning up the finish (was it CA or an oil?) again on the end that got burned.

As for the rust, Bill Ellis could make you a recommendation on the method and device to get at that rust. I think he has used bamboo skewers and swatches of sandpaper to clear that kind of rust, and he also shows a spring-loaded hand tool that uses a thin piece of sandpaper wrapped around it.

 

Monday morning:

C&E BBB
Merkur Slant with Wilkinson
Derby Lavender SC
