Mastiff 7 Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 Hi all, Could anybody tell me if this is repairable please? http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i242/mut_photos/perrazi.jpg I didn't do it I'm pleased to say, it's on a SG that I've seen for sale. If it can be repaired properly any estimates? Cheers, Mick. Quote Link to post
HUnter_zero 58 Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 Hi Mick, if you go down the DIY route and as long as no fibres have been broken, % of the marks will come out by holding the butt over a steaming kettle. The wood fibres will swell and push out the marks. That is presuming it's not a heavy varnished finish. If the wood fibres are damaged, you can still steam the stock, and then either sand the effected area (matching the colour with a mix of wood stains to suit) or just sand the whole stock and re-finish. There is a chap on here who is a dab hand at stock repairs, I'm sure he will be along shortly. John Quote Link to post
Mastiff 7 Posted October 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 Thanks John, Wood and I don't get along very well so I wouldn't dream of trying to sort that out but cheers for the kettle tip, wouldn't have thought of that in a million years! ATB Mick. Quote Link to post
danebrewer10 6 Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 other things that with on the steaming front is if you get a damp cloth and press it against the stock with an iron or a heated spoon, that creates the steam more locally.... Quote Link to post

Second that - our stock man favours a file rather than a spoon as it is flatter and concentrates the heat to one place through the damp cloth. Quote Link to post
