Stag Grip Repair

[32shooter]

I picked up a pair of mismatched Eagle stags a while back here on the forum. I will need to relocate the hole for the locating pin and also the one ferrule. What I need to know is what to use to fill in the existing holes. Would a two part epoxy work, and how will it look for the ferrule repair?

I think most folks use epoxy for repairing stag grips. As long as it dries either clear or whitish, it should look at least decent. I use undyed Brownells Acraglas Gel to repair stags, and it matches pretty well.

Thanks, I will give it a try.

If your epoxy cures light or clear you can add blackboard chalk dust, as you mix, to give it some color. I have never worked on stag grips but I do use India Sambar stag on knife handles.
