Hi all, I was wondering what the best course of action would be regarding filling in drill holes. I recently acquired a Baikal 12g with a number of hairline cracks in the stock. I found the start/finish of each crack and drilled a 1.5mm hole and the end of each to try and stop the cracks from creeping and then filled those holes with epoxy. All seems to be well however I was wondering what the best course of action would, these are my options: 1 - Leave the stock as is, the tiny holes are not that much of a problem to me, its a Baikal so isn't worth much anyway 2 - Sand, fill the holes with wood filler, sand and then Lacquer (thought this would hold the filler better) or wax 3 - Use a mixture of wood glue and saw dust to fill the holes and then wax the stock however I am worries whether the wood glue would actually wax properly 4 - An alternative option suggested by a PW member Thanks for everyone time and help in advance. Cheers, Warren
