Thread: Picking Toxic Jnat Lines

Tom, did you clamp the pieces while the glue set? How did you keep alignment of the sides of the stone?

Now let’s try lacquer putty. This stuff is nitrocellulose lacquer putty, so your stone may eventually get cell rot - just kidding lol.

I used to do bodywork as a hobby refurbing Harleys 30 years ago and I’ve used a lot of this lacquer putty. It has an important characteristic both for bodywork and for patching hones; it doesn’t swell when exposed to water. You used it dry and sanded it dry over Bondo because Bondo absorbed water. But the same stuff was used over sealer and paint, and wet sanded, and you didn’t need to let it dry a lot, an hour was plenty. If it swelled from water exposure and you painted over it, you would see the repair when it dried and shrunk. It doesn’t do that.

That means that you can use it on a jnat crack, and when it gets wet it won’t expand and split your jnat. That’s fairly important. Full disclosure, I don’t have much experience using it on hones, for which it was not intended, but based on past experience I’m ivory soap pure sure that it will work. YMMV.
