Kinda went crazy on the spydies this week. Woulda been crazier if I could have found the other two mules I was looking for. But then again, kind of glad that I didn't. . .
Now the proud owner of a Spin, Cento 4, Mule 10, Mule 11, and Woodcraft :D
Now I just have to decide if I want to try my hand at making some scales or play it safe and buy them. How difficult is it to remove epoxied scales if I end up messing it up or change my mind?

Amazon of all places. Also picked up my Sage 1 from Amazon. The rest were obtained from BF, Spyderco, online retailers, and the local Woodcraft. So, including my Para2 Sprint, that makes 7 in the last month :eek:
Hey Klamp, geussing that once scales are epoxied they are very difficult to remove, probably permanent. If you're not sure I would go for silicon sealent as was suggested to me on the forum. I don't have the tools or facities to make scales myself for the Mules. Halpern Titanium does make some nice ones though. I prefer their type 4, more expensive, but very nice and made to fit Mules. You can get a little bit of a "proud" tang with them, but the grip is superb :)

I looked at Halpern and Cuscadi. As much as I like the Cuscadi (wood & cf scales), they're 60 euros (90 USD) per set not including int'l shipping. Plus, Halpern is in MA, so shipping should be fast.
How does the silicone sealant work? Just use it like epoxy? I'd like to get some liners as well. Do you think there will be any problems with the liners + silicone?
The Halpern scales fit very well and don't necessarily need to be epoxied if you think you might swap them out later. Just be careful about getting any corrosion under the handles if you keep them wet a lot - and you should be OK.
