I finished scraping sanding the second coat of epoxy, and now will be applying a light coat to the areas that I sanded through.
<br>
<br>The cheekpiece came out ok on the second sanding (no cut throughs) so I've been applying a few coats of linspead to it, to encourage me as to what the final finish will look like, and, it'll look nice, very nice.
<br>
<br>As to epoxies, you can use acraglass, but don't use the cheap 5,15, 30 minute epoxies from the local hardware stores, get some good stuff.
<br>
<br>You also don't need to mix up big gooping batches of the stuff and glop it on, as I've found. 1/2 oz for the first coat is likely plenty, for the second batch, a quarter sized blob of resin, and an appropriate qty of hardner is fine.
<br>
<br>If you like the look of an oil finished gun, and want a stable stock, this is the finish. Also the hardening of the wood surface aids getting a very smoothly sanded surface. If you don't put on too much epoxy, a wet sand with 220, 320 and 400 gr will get you right down there, then time for many coats of oil.
