Does anyone know the best method for removing deep scratches from a TIKKA-3 synthetic stock? Could it be sanding, or heating, or??
Thanks

maybe try some shoe polish to fill it in? or fill it in with some epoxy and do a custom paint job. Check out my t3 that i painted in my gallery.

Sorry, but the only thing I could come up with when I searched "contractors secret" is a rust remover.

looked Trades Secret up and it seems it's for wood repair. Is there any other way to touch up a synthetic stock?

fill the deep scratches with bondo. sand smooth and have cobra imaging put a cool wrap on it.

Or just call it a battle wound and realize that a rifle is not a show piece, but a tool to kill animals .

Normally I wouldn't bother, but it's new - like a new truck - the first scratch/dent hurts but then it's all good. You are right, I'll smooth them out and then they will be memories of the hunt.
Thanks everyone

The flooring I used it on is a hard synthetic.... The type/name of it eludes me right now but it is pretty tough w/ NO wood products in it.


Dabbed a little on, worked it into the gouge and cleaned off the excess; It was pretty simple.
Waddya got to lose?

That's what syntheitc stocks are for. They're FUGLY anyway, might as well give them some stories!

Personally, I'd just sand the rest of the stock to match, then give it a rattle can overhaul...........

Tupperware is for utility, not beauty.

Sorry MD I haven't got around to it yet. I'll wait till after the season, just in case I decide to take more shots off of a rock rest again.
Thanks for the tip and I'll check it out - at the risk of wasting my time on a "fugly".
