Well, what I did was to take a piece of scrap and tr it on some white buff. That did not work since the white got caught between the scales and did not look good at all. I then tried it with the green rouge. That worked really well, buff with green then hand rub with a towel. This gets off any of the excess and leaves you with a nice clean shine. I also glued my scales to a piece of the red vulcanized liner before any of the above. It worked out real well. When I get the chance I will post a picture of the finished knife.
The piece of armidillo that I used was fairly smooth and polka doted , looked more like snake skin than anything else. The other piece that I have has really pronounced scales so I still not sure what I am going to do with those pieces.
