Installing clip on friction folder
Sorry if this is a dumb question guys but I'm blanking here.
I'm in the process of making my first folder/ friction folder I ordered a clip from Jantz that came with 3 bolts. The scales are micarta. How do you go about installing the clip? Are there threaded female grommets or something that need to be place in the scales so I can screw in the clip or is it just a matter of epoxy ing the provided bolts into the micarta. Thanks for any help. I'm very new at folders so sorry if this is simplistic. Thanks.

Screws won't hold in micarta. Most folders have a metal liner behind the scales. The screws are tapped and screwed thru the scale into the metal liner.
