Silvers pads will flex to a curved butt. Most need the bases trued up on a sander before screwing on. And i find this warms up the base enough to make it just a little more pliable to help with bending. Screw it down to the stock slowly and allow it to conform to the curve.
Then scribe your line on the base to grind to. I grind the heel and toe angles while it is still on the stock since that angle will change once removed due to the curve. Then i mount to a jig and grind the rest. Then remount and finish by hand.

Any hints on artificially adding some aging to the Silvers #3 red pad?

Just keep it wiped down with gun oil.
After 6 months to a year of use, it will look just fine. No need to artificially get it there. In my opinion.

I've read that vaseline helps with the age look.

If it's the "old/cracked surface/yellowed" type, then wipe on some yellow varnish and wait about two weeks until it dries. Then it will eventually get cracked and gnarly with use. If you want to preclude any other options in the future, use Vaseline or oil. They will soak into the rubber, look "oily" and virtually never dry. If you want a complete mess, wipe on Linspeed. It NEVER dries. |

My 1986 Griffin and Howe Repro Silvers installation on my AHE trap has aged just fine. It looks like it was installed by Parker Brothers in 1930.
