i'll be following this thread, having the exact same problem.
awhile back on a similar issue JB Weld was recommended

Also from Montgomery County! Where do you get your BP supplies around here?
i make the drive to Ft. Champers in Pennsyltucky. good group of guys.
regular LMF Lancaster Maple straight up, or mixed with their cherry? it's a great looking finish.
i've never used Permalyn on a barrel, very interesting and excellent results!
welcome aboard, i'm just down the road from you in MD.
Capnball is right - the gentlemen @ Ft. Chambers are the best.
enjoy the board, there's a wealth of information here!
greetings from central MD LonePIne!
the gentlemen at Fort Chambers are 1st rate. you can see some builds and ask away.
