Hey there folks, I want to do my first knife related project and I need some help. I don't have any clue as to how to work with yellow delrin. My project is going to be customizing a crkt shrill to to my liking so one of the last but more tricky parts of the project is putting on the yellow delrin scales and I need some advice. Is there a specific process for fitting? Or do I treat it like it's wood in that all I need to do is cut roughly to shape, file and sand to refine and then attach? (Using screws btw)

Where in the world did you find yellow Delrin?
I would love to have some.

You know that is a fantastic question because at this stage I have no idea, I was just thinking of how I could customize this knife to my absolute ideal specs and the yellow delrin seems to be impossible to find at the thickness I need I guess I need another yellow plastic alternative

I don't think you will get any glue to stick to Delrin

The way I'm doing this, I'm not going to need glue, I'll be honest with you. Nothing wrong with g10 as a material, I just don't like itI don't think you will get any glue to stick to Delrin
