Si-Snipe Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Just revieved my Mc M stock from USA. I'm in the process of sanding, pillar installations and bedding it now. It requires a little cosmetic work to remove light scratches, raised seams from the mould. The gel coat is 1-2mm thick depending on area. I'm planning on cutting it back with fine W&D then perhaps finishing with a light cutting compound. Anyone tried and tested any techniques to improve the finish before I start? Thanks Si Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJR Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Flat it with fine wet n dry and then T cut to polish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si-Snipe Posted November 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 W & D with a T cut was going to be one of my top choices. Thanks for reinforcing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grouse Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 Just out of curiosity, what is the reason for doing this? Surely it will "shine" more when shooting g in sunlight? Only reason I ask is that I once sold a rifle to someone for stalking and he did exactly what you are talking about - couldn't fathom out the reason?

Si-Snipe Posted November 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 Hi buddy. Bullets recieved at my parents thanks. I've yet to collect them. The gel coat is what they use to get the nice multi colours and marbel effect I believe. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forbie Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 I wouldn't use T Cut either Ferecla is much better different grade and you use with water. Can be messy tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
