I would like to try pinning a crack in a stock that I have. The location of the crack is near the head and towards the bottom. It is about 2 inches long front to back but not all the way through. It should be fairly easy to drill a hole through this section as the wood is thicker and I will be coming up from the bottom but from the outside which will be visible. I purchased a Brownell's pinning kit with pins that are threaded. After drilling the hole it says to coat the pin with Acra Glass and then insert it in a drill chuck and slowly treading it in. After it dries cut the pin off to level it with the wood. My concern is with cutting the pin off without damaging the stock and then sinking it a little to get some Acra Glass with some wood dust in the sink so it blends in well. Any suggestions? How often do you just glue vs. doing a pin job on a crack?
