Thread: Going to fix my CZ stock - help!

JB weld epoxy, i swear it makes the normal stuff look like wallpaper paste.

Ah ok but I already done it eh.

tough to sand around the checkering but a method is to wet sand the area with say, tru-oil and the wet sawdust will fill up the crack. let it dry and refinish stock.
I believe a trick is also to use super glue. that may be better in the chequering part at least

wait till you try a mix of superglue and baking soda. makes it even tougher !!!

Ah, ok, thanks. You mean like wet-sand with superglue? (and baking soda @gonetropo). And would I refinish it with... more tru-oil or something else?

nope. if you mix superglue and baking soda together it becomes amazing to glue porous surfaces like wood. give it a go one day on a piece of scrap and you will see what i mean

Wet sand with tru-oil, it does go off like a varnish so makes a hard gap filler. The superglue trick is if you cant do that. refinish with tru-oil if you have that but otherwise use whatever you want to try. The next one I want to try is Danish oil but I think you still seal it with a couple of coats of a tru-oil type finish

To bad I caught this thread a bit late.
I use epoxy resin and the following die to match the colour of the wood.

The repairs are almost invisible.

If that piece of wood broke in the first place, it might be due to an uneven pressure of the action in that part of the stock and maybe your rifle would benefit from a bedding job ?

Not to worry - better late than never. I'll store that tip away for next time, cheers. I'm not sure if you are familiar with the whole sad saga but I do think the tang of the action might contact the stock just where it split away. I might relieve the wood slightly around there, to give it a mil clearance, which it seems to have around the rest of the tang. It doesn't sit particularly neutrally in the stock - there are a couple of different ways it can settle when tightening the action screws. But on the other hand it shoots pretty well so I'm not hugely keen to mess with it more than necessary. Plus I've never bedded a stock before. sounds like Tru Oil and wet sanding might be the go, and just take if from there.

just be aware that you are only doing enough to fill the gap. And its only steel wool-my preferred, maybe green scourer pads (still to try this one properly) and quite fine sandpaper.
