Make sure you take safety precautions of course. Just a few seconds of running the flame over the spot will do the trick. The goal is to warm it up a bit, and it doesn't take long. Just run the flame over the areas that will recieve adhesive.
How do I flame treat plastic at home? You can use a plumber's hand held propane tank with a torch tip. When someone orders 1000 cups, they flame treat them, and they are ready to print. They have an actual flame treating machine. My aunt owns a plastic cup business that screen prints logos onto the cups. But if you repair a tank right away after flame treating, the bond will hold indefinately.Ĭompanies that deal with plastics every day know this, and flame treat any back stock. After that, they have to be flame treated again. Plastics that are flame treated will stay good for maybe a month if left sitting on the shelf. We repair and restore gun stocks without. It has something to do with changing the molecular structure on the surface, and once that is done, glues and inks will be able to bond to the surface. Nicks, chips, dents, cracks and peeling finishes have a devastating effect on the value and appearance of your firearm. I know from the screen printing and also the adhesive industry that plastics have to be 'flame treated' before they will accept many glues or inks. is going to sound crazy, but just follow me here. Acraglas is a wonderful product and if your stock damage was open/straight enough, you could work it into the crack with thread or dental floss - doesn't look like an option for you. Remove any "wedge" and clamp immediately with soft jaw clamps. If you can spread the crack as Chuck suggested, again, more's the better. Before you use that method, and since the crack goes clean thru into the barrel channel, when you get your super glue, measure the tapered nozzle, select a drill bit that will allow a tight seal on the nozzle and drill a couple of shallow holes, (deep enought to reach the crack), from inside the channel into the major area of the crack, then, again, from the barrel channel, press the nozzle of the the super glue tightly into the drilled holes and squeeze the bottle, forcing glue to spread into the crack - if a little runs out the outside of the crack, more's the better. If you select a glue with a high flow rate, capillary action alone will draw "some" glue into the crack. Peter's method provides a good final finish and should be used for final finish.

I've sold that rifle few years ago and the crack never reappeared, even thought that rifle had more than 3500 full loads 500gr/2680-2720fps. 460 Weatherby Mk5 in 1982 when the stock splited after about 60 rounds. I used exactly the above mentioned technique on my very first rifle a.

A professional quality job's done in a mater of few minutes.Īir or an Aceton is not needed. It will finnish the stock like you've never seen before. As it has the same wood filling you won't even recognised it was ever there. Don't be scared to rub/sand with sandpaper. Blow over it with your mouth and repeate several times until the crack is fully filled and finnish. By one or two tube (2ml) of the cheapest Chinese made Super glue with a nozzle, the runnier the better (Cyoanoacrylate) and one or two sheets of 400- 600 grit sandpaper.Ĭut/tear the sandpaper into 35x35mm pieces.Īpply a very tiny amount of the Super glue with the tiny nozzle as deep as possible and immediately sand over the stock crack to create a fine sawdust to stick into the Super glue.
