psycho Posted July 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 Anyone know what can be used to revive a deep scratch from the lacquer of a browning stock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panoma1 Posted July 31, 2016 Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 Well I don't know of anything that will fill and invisibly repair such a scratch on a lacquered stock! But then again, I am no authority on such procedures! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaun4860 Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 You could try a French polisher or as suggested strip and oil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Poon Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 (edited) You need 4 things to repair it. Brown coloured pencil Clear nail polish Wet n dry sand paper. T-Cut Firstly fill in the scratch with a suitable coloured pencil then build up the layers with a clear nail polish until it protrudes above the rest of the lacquer. Finely sand it down with the sand paper and use the T-cut to blend it all in. It's not 100% perfect but you really can't tell unless you look really closely, I did this to one of my guns not long ago.

It's not 100% perfect but you really can't tell unless you look really closely, I did this to one of my guns not long ago. I use a similar method to hide knock through laquer at work. Something to stain the bare wood, I use felt pen and let it dry right off adding more to get the shade just right. You can also fake in figuring if youve a mind to. Then use the nail varnish, clear top coat, and build up layer upon layer as it flattens alot as it dries. Doesnt matter if you get a little over the edges. I then use wet strips of 1200 wet and dry. (Put a couple of drops of wahing up liquid on the water as it makes it wetter, stop the paper clogging so much and helps prevent dragging the varnish). The I mop it using a compound called Vonax, it's designed to polish plastics, and I just have to show the repair the mop. The barest touch brings a shine. Stropping with vonax will prob work very well. I havent tried T Cut but may well give it a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
