How Can I repair these scratches without refinishing the stock?

[Patrick Chadwick]

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!
