Filling a Flaw
My stock had a slight flaw in it that needed to be repaired. This was a void in the wood and needed to be filled.
First I used a pick to remove any of the soft wood in the flaw to prepare it for filling.
Because this flaw was located where the checkering would be I decided to fill it with epoxy. Epoxy is very hard when cured and would checker well. Here I am applying the epoxy with a toothpick working it into the void the best that I could.
The completed patch curing.
After sanding it down I noticed a few small voids in the epoxy where there were some tiny air bubbles.
To fill the voids I used some polyurethane, this was applied by toothpick.
Once everything is cured and sanded the void is now filled.
