Thanks, I still need to mount a pocket clip but the drill & tap kit is on back order.
I did 4 or 5 coats of superglue on the scales, sanding to 400 in between, and buffed with a dry wheel.
After I took the pictures below I noticed the small smudge up by the front screw, so I did 2 more coats and re-buffed them
All in all I'm pretty pleased with my first folding kit, and the thumb stud was only installed for the photos
