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.

Holy Health and Safety Regulations! Your mucous membranes must be tougher than mine!

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?
