Just ordered some of this glue to fix a couple of splits in the head of an old boxlock stock.
I've read good reviews about it but wondered how strong it actually is ?
The wood had soaked up a bit oil over the years but I've cleaned that up with solvent then heat over the last few days so I'd imagine it's quite clean now. Will carry on with that until it's all gone but after reading the claims about the strength of the glue I wondered if it will be enough on its own or whether I should also fit a Chicago screw to keep it all tight ?
The owner shoots well with it and isn't too concerned with a visible repair, I'd like to do an invisible fix ideally , especially after seeing an old hammer gun fixed with two halves of an old brass door hinge a few days back.
What would you recommend ? The wood will be clean and dry before any glue goes near it but would you say that it'll be strong enough a bond to take the knocks and recoil ?
At least he'll only be putting 2 1/2 inch shells in it now after I pointed out the chamber size.
