Best Way to Repair A Chipped Grip???
It's not a Luger grip, but the method should be the same...
My Gasser grip has a chip out of it; it chipped with the grain, pretty much in one plane... I'm wondering how to graft a piece of wood in to repair it... Sand/rout it flat and glue a piece on with as little glueline as possible showing??? Shape the new piece to fit the existing contour and let the glueline be what it wants to be??? Dovetail a new piece in??? What kind of adhesive??? Glue??? Epoxy??? Polyester resin??? Shaping it afterward should be pretty straightforward...and it will always look 'fixed'...so what would a period armorer/smith have done to repair it??? I've seen gunstocks with some elaborate wood repairs [Enfields]... How would an Austrian or German have repaired a chipped grip???
