Thanks for your caution; I'm not getting any younger, though, and I'm pretty handy with most everything I've ever tackled. I just want to go in with whatever tips I can aquire.

I have seen these links to the 'photo trail' and have studied them. My "problem" is that the two stocks in question do not have any cracks presently. So, without any cracks to dig out and undermine, where would it be advisable to remove wood, and replace with the Acraglas?
