Howle’s Hints: DIY Gun Stock Repair

On guns with wooden stocks and forearms, small, shallow dents can be removed from the wood with a wet cotton washcloth and steam iron. Place the wet cloth over the dent and apply the steam iron to the area. The steam entering the porous wood combined with heat expands the wood which helps pull out the dent. Repeat the process until the ding is removed.
