2-dead-in-the-air Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 Ive just purchased a .410 for my son's 10th birthday, the stock has been cut twice before and then glued and screwed, how can i remove the glue to seperate. Its a varnished stock but i will be taking this all off and then oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
station Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 I'm not aware of anything that will undo a bond made with proper wood glue ! I know when furniture is dipped for stripping that certain glued joints come apart, but that's a bit extreme for a stock. Your best bet would be to use the finest saw blade you can - preferably a band saw and follow the cut, then sand perfectly smooth. It will be interesting to hear other peoples views on this as my old boss (I served my time with a cabinet maker way back when) used to say - the screws just hold everything in place and it is the glue that's the strength in any joint that's done correctly. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nabbers Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 Sounds like you are shortening the stock? If you were willing to lose the addition that's glued in place for good, you could chisel away the extra bit in chunks following the grain from the butt plate end, the wood will split until it reaches the cut and fall away in chunks.
