Need Help On Grip Repair
I recently bought a nice old (1922 vintage) Colt Police Positive in 32-20. The only problem that the gun has is a missing chip on the bottom of the right-hand grip panel. I was thinking of using something like JB Weld to fill in the missing portion, and then carefully sand it down to match the original contour.
Two problems with that are (1) JB Weld is light grey in color, and doesn't match the color of the original gutta-percha grips. And (2) I have to make sure that the hole for the retaining pin on the grip frame is exactly in the right place.
I had thought that I might be able to put the JD Weld on while the grip panel was on the gun, but would have to make sure that I used some sort of releasing agent on the metal frame so that the JD Weld would not stick and thereby permanently gluing the grip to the gun. I have no idea, however what I might put on the metal to keep the JB Weld from sticking to it.
Thoughts?
Ideas?
