Successful stock head repair
Stock head had started to split on my project Parker. Hadn't done a repair like this. Located the tutorial here on how to do it correctly and thought I'd give it a try.
7 day acetone soak.
Titebond Wood CA down the length of the crack, and clamped the stock to close the crack.
Fashioned a staple from a stainless steel cotter pin.
Cut a channel with a Dremel cut-off wheel, and drilled the holes for the staple legs.
Filled the channel and holes with tinted Acraglass Gel.
Degreased the staple and gently tapped it into place.
Cure and then remove the excess epoxy.
That was fun!
