Good information on the raising of dents. I've always used plain water with a steam iron with decent success but some of the larger dents take a number of times to raise and at times, the dent isn't fully raised.
A question...how do the professionals deal with any gouges encountered in the wood? I have a lowly Winchester model 37, 16 gauge my dad purchased for my older brother and I in the 60's that has seen some hard use. I'm going to refinish the stock, with a rust blue of the barrel. It's got some gouges in the forend that I'd like to deal with but my previous efforts on gouges have been less than satisfactory to my eye.
Thanks for any replies!
