I have a problem. No, that THAT one, another one.
I have another gun stock to repair (wood) It is a crappy old Stevens
single barrel break action. This pattern is notorious for cracking
where the stock meets the back of the action, usually because things are
a wee bit too tight. I've filed the mating wood surfaces down a few
thousandths and now need to glue the splits back together.
Ordinarily, I would use Acraglass to affect this repair, but the splits
are very narrow. I don't know any way to get the Acraglass resin into
the narrow crevice (anyone have any suggestions?), so I was thinking of
cyanoacrylate. My question is this: what will thin cyanoacrylate so I
can make it nice and watery so that it will fully fill the crack?
If anyone knows a way to get Acraglass into small crevices like this,
I'd be very happy to hear it.
Thanks.
