Oh feck it shall I go try and split it? Because I want to have a sling on it!!

[Andy_c 210]

Yea errr it will not separate :/

[porkycrook 466]

Have you got a heat gun? if so you might be able to warm the glue joint enough to break free.

[Andy_c 210]

I could put it above the hob?

I could put it above the hob?It electric

[porkycrook 466]

That might work.

[Andy_c 210]

I can't get it apart maybe there was something differ punt in the bottle?

[Andy_c 210]

This is how it looks wht next

[porkycrook 466]

Is it your intention to refinish the stock? if so then you should be able to sand the clue line andit might hide alot of what you can see in photo's. If you restain the stock then i would wait to see how well you have managed to hide the joint, if it is nice hidden repair then stain the stock in uniform coats. If the glue-line is not hidden that well then i would use a cheap childrens paintbrush to stain just the glue-line until you think that you have hidden it. Good luck and keep us up-dated.

If its a good strong bond then I would leave it and just re-do the stock. You've obviously done a decent job and the adhesive has been decent enough. Your stock should be easy enough to do as there's not a lot of chequering. Strip it with nitromors and refinish with Birchwood Casey kit. It's simple enough to do. You'll be able to fill the crack around the repair with brummer which is suitable for lighter woods. If it's well stuck I would leave it ;-)

The joint is strong there is a slight join line which would sand easy enough so you wouldn't sand it down then?

Strip it with nitromors 1st. It may take a couple of applications to completely remove the old varnish. Then you can start sanding working your sand paper down to emery paper. After that you'll be able to see how much filling you'll need to do. If there are any small dings on the stock then they can be steamed out with a hot kettle. After that then you can start applying the finish. It's a very simple job with only basic wood working skills needed ;-) Edited August 1, 2013 by AirgunGuy

Again...if its a good join then leave well alone. If you open it up again then you'll have the adhesive still on the faces and it will be much more difficult to get a good fit without having to sand the faces flat and then you never get a properly aligned join ;-)
