Trigger operated which I use for blowing the swarfe and such from around my lathe and bench. You do need access to an air hose/tank with what I call my dust blaster gun assembly. To do a little job like this and succeed makes you feel good.

I am sure you would lose me in about 10 seconds in your particular expertise. IF the finish had to be re done then your talking much more than $50 of course, but I think with care you could do the job yourself IF you have the ability and the aptitude. It is time consuming and time costs money.

Leaving the match or with a larger hole if there is enough material in the hole will also help to lock everything up.Ĭracked stock repairs either work or they don't but I don't think you would get a professional to do the job for less than $50, that's £30 in UK money. If you are very careful blowing that epoxy through the crack so very little emerges then I don't see a big problem cleaning up and you should not disturb the outside finish. If you have more 'meat' to work with drill a larger hole and plug with a piece of whittled wood. A bit tricky but it will work and stop the crack creeping. I normally run my tank low until I get what I feel is right. You must have the air on a fairly low pressure but enough to force the glue into the crack. Lay the stock aside overnight, remove tape, clean up where necessary and refit. If it doesn't then add more epoxy and blow again, this should force glue into the crack and as soon as you see some appearing refill the hole, push the match in the hole and wrap some tape around the area with the crack as tightly as possible having cleaned off any residue. I poke as much as I can down the hole, a match helps here, then with a air hose on low I place the flat point of the blower nozzle on the hole as tight as possible and give a quick blow watching for any glue exiting the outside of the crack. I then mix up a small amount of epoxy glue we have Araldite over here. If this crack is running down the 'hand' of the stock, then I have made repairs by taking the stock off, finding the source of the crack, then carefully drill a small 1/8th or slightly smaller hole straight down the crack for about one inch or as near as possible without exiting the wood the length of the crack. It may be that you could do the repair yourself. Without seeing it, it is difficult to advise.
