Wiscoaster............Sorry if I lost ya there on the mention of glue. I sorta screw up in explaination sometimes by assuming folks know what glue is. The Glue I use most on stock wood , powder horn plugs , sliding wood patch box replacments , decorative inlays , and metal patch box installs , basicly any metal going to get engraved , is Epoxie. Before Epoxie glue became a household word bought from Dollar stores , we had Cascophine powder from a paper canister , to be mixed with water.. In other words , it was hide glue made from animal hide gel , a biproduct of tanning animal hides. This glue was invented most likely around 1400 to 1600 AD in Europe. It was a common product they repaired most any wood work in Europe , an eventually America. Before Epoxie , I tried most of the other water based wood glues , but all have draw backs , I won't go into for gunstock work. Dollar Store epoxie is cheap , and accepts dye products the same as the expensive Acraglas does . Cheap epoxie does anything for me that the expensive stuff did in the early 1950's. It's a beautiful thing when you can install a wood patch for instance to fix a knlt hole in a valuable gunstock , and because of stained epoxie glue , the fix is near invisible. Epoxie glue sands off flush with no dimple effect as seen using wood fillers as well. This is enough for this diatribe......Sorry if I bored you........oldwood
