Thanks for that info.
WEST looks a lot easier than what I've been doing.
From what I've learned on line, the WEST system is for boats and such, I don't see it offered in a small kit suitable for fixing a cracked gunstock.
I'd still put in the hidden cross pin to reinforce
the repair and I'd use the Gel for that.

I use West System exclusively in my shop. The last bottle of yellow glue I had dried up years ago.
West System isn't just for boats. It's good for what ails you. A West rep told me one time that all epoxy resins come out of only a couple spigots in the U.S. What makes the different manufacturers different is their proprietary hardeners.
West System markets a "repair kit" for a couple bucks with enough stuff in it to bed a couple rifles, fix a dozen cracks, or glue your girlfriend's lips together while she sleeps. It contains resin, hardener, colloidal silica for thickening, and popsicle stick for stirring.
