Mixing the sanded particles with glue sound interesting  but won't that contain loads of sandpaper too, not to mention the glue !?

I'd be tempted to steam raise it as much as poss and then just use appropriate colour wood filler which is widely available in DIY stores.

Everyone has a different outlook.

My clay guns are indeed just tools, the game guns on the other hand have been in the family from new, in a couple of cases I'm the 5th generation to use them so I'd be gutted to put a dink in them.

Fair point, but not if you use wet and dry, good quality stuff as it doesn't come off.

I have done this on guitars that are easily worth as much as a Perazzi or similar.

You could use a yellow glue (Titebond), but there isn't a "finish" as such, going on it, CA might be better. Or Araldite.

Hi, I'm a joiner by trade and wood finishing a repairs are a big part of what I do,I also do a bit of stock refinishing on the side. I'm not a great fan of 2 part wood fillers or mixing dust with glue. The best product I have found is liberon hard wax sticks. You can match almost any colour, it's easy to sand back and finish. I melt the wax in with a lighter scrape it back, lightly sand it's back and touch it up with a small amount of oil.

You had to mention guitars!!

Weird how guitarists pay lots extra to have their guitar seriously beaten up (Fender Heavy relics or Tom Murphy aged Les Pauls) so it gives them kudos, but shooters love condition over function in some cases?  :biggrin:

I have melted kiddies wax crayons in the microwave ( much to the annoyance of the mrs ) you can blend the colours to find the right shade (test on different piece of wood) anyway, drip it into the ding and let it harden, rub back flush and finish it with your usual coating

The best way is sand   some from inside as said, mix with PVA glue, keep adding till you get a colour match with the piece you have sanded, then fill the hole, leave to dry 24hrs, then sand to match and refinish, done this plenty for customers and always works.

"Colour match" with what? This would leave a very poor result.

This is not how a gun stocker who served a 4-year apprenticeship would cary out this repair.

I specialise in my trade. Whenn I need a joiner for a job, I would ask around for a recommendation.

Great post Tom B pretty much the same as mine but a little more refined

OMG!!!!!!!

Don't worry Wes, we're back to the old Miroku again.

It was a suggestion brook bank, there was no mention of it being the correct way of doing or of me undertaking a 4 year apprenticeship as a stocker, but it would be a damn site cheaper than visiting a stocker.

:fie:  OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Wes I think you touched a nerve there? :fie:

By the way, I've known Wesley over 40 years and everything he does has to be 100% correct!

Cool, a pro has arrived!!

How do we do it then? Cut a sliver out and blend in a bit?

If it was my Miroku i would repair with a suitable colour match wax stick but on a perazzi i would give it to the experts although in Will's case the cost of repair would have to be lower then the amount being knocked off when selling obviously :spiteful:
