[QUOTE="jdyoung, post: 1935200, member: 113391"] I agree about the adhesion problem aushunter1 points out. The OP is talking about the butt stock and he wants more rigidity. Wants to add a cheek rest. Keep in mind that I haven’t tried this. Just mulling it over since reading the OP’s first post question. So .........What “IF” you were able to adhere fiber glass cloth , (like comes in automotive patch kits), to the inside of the butt stock using a [I]Cyanoacrylate[/I][B] [/B]glue. After a layer or two is built up, would you have a fiberglass base that will accept adhesion of epoxy ? [I][SIZE=3]or any other glue/adhesive you choose.[/SIZE][/I] If so, then mix the epoxy and loose chopped fiberglass and fill the remaining areas inside of the buttstock. My thinking is the cyanoacrylate glues fiber glass layers to the inside of the stock which provides something for the epoxy to adhere . First rough up the inside of the butt stock , apply the "[I]super glue[/I]" in the furthermost portion and then a strip of fiber glass cloth on top of the super glue. Repeat working your way out to the butt until the inside of the buttstock is covered. It would take great time ,care and development of technique to get the first layer in place. It would add weight, but if you keep in mind to keep the rifle balanced at the magazine area, it shouldn't be distracting. Maybe I’ve been sniffin’ too much glue. [/QUOTE]
