THE ECAM Scales thread

resinguy said:
As a (retired) polymer chemist I can absolutely appreciate Old School/OG Westinghouse micarta for what it was/is. Polymer chemistry is barely a century old, and the Giants of the field, Bader, A., (Bakelite), Carothers, W., et al are still mentioned often. I never worked with composites much, but I get them. My personal preference now is no more Safe Queens and the CPK Terotuf appeals to my practical side. YMMV.

Carothers......any relation?

Hey guys, does anyone have a DEK with ECAM scales that they could share photos of? I went through this post and didn't see one (unless I completely missed it).

Would like to know how the ECAM looks in the checkered/diamond-textured area of the handle. Thanks!

Edit: I did see some Fighters with ECAM and there's some diamonding too but just wanted to ask about the DEK scale specifically.

Cool, I think I'm going to go with buffed ECAM on my DEK1! My main "concern" (more like thought) was for the rear 2/3 of the scales - whether or not the diamond grip texture would obscure the lovely wavy pattern of the ECAM fibers. I can see the wavy pattern in your photos still though, especially in the second photo. I imagine in-person, the ECAM pattern is even more prominent?

Yes, very prominent when there's no glare.
