I'm in the process of refinishing a stock and forend. I'm using the Wonka method describer here. It actually worked great for stripping it. I need to soak it in the alcohol a little longer to remove the oil. However, after it was stripped I noticed a 1/2" long x 1/16" wide gouge in the side of the stock that must has been filled in before. I never noticed it before. I suspect that it was filled in and finished so well that I never noticed it before the strip job.
My question is, what can I use to fill this in so that I can also hide this imperfection? I want to make sure it takes the stain and doesn't shrink or crack later.
As always, thank you in advance and have a Happy New Year!
