Worked fine for me, except for a rams-horn TI that warped. Had to give it a good coating of neatsfoot oil, close it and leave it again on the decoder for a day to straighten it out.
I'd be careful doing this. I have an irreplaceable 8/8 Wade & Butcher that had the toe broken from the scales warping in this way.
With the crack in the toe I am in the process of making a 8/8ths shorty. I've cut the blade and am currently at the sanding stage.
