To anyone interested in glue technology:
If you search for Tigophilm you are likely to be disappointed - I found nothing.
But try looking for Tegofilm /Tego film and you will find a lot.
And yes, it does seem to be a phenolic resin.

One piece of advice: whether it is a phenol- urea- or resorcinol based resin, they all seem to involve formadehyde. I found out the hard way, when cutting chipboard glued with urea-formaldehyde in a closed roof space, that the dust produced by sawing or sanding such materials is atrociously irritating. In seconds I had a raging sinusitis which took a couple of hours to fade away.
So if you value your mucous membranes, do NOT sand a laminated stock, unless you work in a well-ventilated space and wear a mask. Quite apart from it not being the right way to go about refurbishing an old rifle!
Sorry Patrick for the mispell I was running from memory from one of my documentaries I had watched some years ago and only went on how it sounded from the track on the disc.
Yes Clarky it would have been a nasty piece of kit.
I used to de-cant raw 100% formaldehyde from a 200 Lt drum into 5 lt buckets on the farm mixed 50/50 with water as a foot bath with the dairy cattle that were fully housed like the Europeans did it was not nice gear the usual farm safety equipment shorts, T-shirt, and ordinary boots nothing else.
That's just how things used to be. I spent 21 years in the motor trade as a refinisher, I don't even want to think about the chemicals I inhaled and got all over my hands through the 1980's in particular....
Some of them a real ticking time bomb!
Is that why the stock on my Nagant looks so bad? It's just build up? Can it be restored without hurting the original finish and value?
Sorry wrong room I'm new :banghead::banghead:
