Thanks for all the replies. To address the questions and comment in order, somewhat ....... there is no finish on the stock Steve. It was de-oiled before the repair was done, and all finish is gone.
keith, that was Loctite brand 2-Ton clear epoxy. Sure didn't dry clear did it? And that pic was taken after it was dressed down and sanded a little.
Milt, thank you for that mini-tutorial on hiding it with oil paint. That may be the route I travel with it. I've got a pretty good eye for colors and matching stuff. At least I've had success with doing that with stains. This may be entirely different, but when I get a chance to go by an art store I will look at the paints available. You pegged the problem ......... there is no streaking in this stock. It is very plain, but is solid and in excellent condition.
I'm determined to get this right, and time is not an issue.
Thanks all, SRH
