Step 3 Repeat the steps on the inside of the tank. Step 2 Since this is relatively thick material, we made several layers of the polyethylene strip to increase the repair strength. If it takes a LOT of clamping pressure to close up the crack, then RFGuy’s suggestion to reinforce with dowels might be a good idea. Step 1 Weld the outside of the broken stock tank along the crack line using a polytheylene welding strip. And being epoxy, it filled the cracks with no shrinkage.
Several wraps with electrician’s tape works well. Make sure the stock is held tightly together as the pin is inserted and that there is no gap between the pieces. I had to keep adding more as it wicked in. Coat the stock repair pins with Acraglas Gel and carefully tap them into place. While rough-turned, I taped off the cracks on the bottom of the bowl, applied the epoxy on the inside, and it wicked all the way through. If you look closely at my finished Walnut bowl in this thread, you can see a number of small splits resulting from my accelerated dessicant-drying experiment. It wicks right into both punky wood and cracks. I’ve had excellent success with the thin, slow-cure System Three epoxy that Woodcraft sells. Once I know that, I'm hoping someone can tell me of a technique for gluing or fiberglassing the stock from the inside to make an inconspicuous repair.Ditto JPG’s question: If you put a clamp or two across the split, does it close up nice and tight? If so, I think you can make an almost invisible repair. I applied a coat of paste wax to the exposed area, using a q-tip with the cotton swab removed, so no excess paste wax would be forced into the crack. I used general blue painter's tape to mask around the crack.

I encountered some resistance trying to remove the stock (after removing the handguard, the front action bolt and the trigger guard), so I stopped trying to remove the stock before I was able to determine whether the crack goes all the way through. The crack is on the right side of the receiver, extending from the rear of the forestock (it is a two piece stock) toward the muzzle about two inches.

I really don't want to replace the stock, but I thought I'd better do something about the crack before it gets worse. Blow out with compressed air repeating until free of dirt and debris deep into the crack. The stock wood is a light colored, figured wood that is definitely not walnut - don't know what it is. The Repair To begin, I went ahead with an epoxy/dowel repair, learning as I went.
