Gunstock repair
- Thread starter kolob10
- Start date
What kind of gunstock, and where is the damage? I had a split on the buttstock of a rifle that was caused by someone hammering in the cleaning kit trapdoor. When the trap door assembly was pulled out, you could only tell there was a split about 2" long by rubbing your fingernail along the wood. I used the trap door as a wedge to gently pry the split open(which was in one of the wood grains), allowing me to get some wood glue into the recess. I then pulled the wedge out, let it dry, and sanded it smooth. But this was on a superficial part of the stock, so I didn't have to pin it or use a wood insert.
Here's a link for some inspiration if you have the patience and/or skill to splice two damaged stocks together. The first pic is pretty impressive to say the least.

Yeah, Accraglass will bond anything. Wood or syntheic.
Never thought of Accra-glass.
I just use "Gorilla Glue" for most any wood repair, now, especially pieces that are difficult to clamp. You get the best bond by wetting both surfaces, glue, and hold together for 1-2 minutes. If there's nothing pushing the pieces apart, you can get away without clamping, but clamp it if possible. Also, even if you don't get any "squeeze out" initially, you will as it expands as it hardens. But any excess is easily scraped/sanded off.
