Just sharing a best practice. When gluing these fore ends together I find it useful to use a bicycle tire inner tube to provide outward pressure to rubber band clamps. This is especially useful when repairing Browning Auto 5 fore ends but it works well on all types. They usually split at the rear. There are cross bands of wood veneer which separate also. Use a slow acting epoxy like Acraglass of Devcon 45 min. Place Saran Wrap over the glue setup and insert the deflated inner tube into the cavity. Inflate the tube and wrap the outside with strips of auto tire inner tube. Control the air until you get a good setup. Let it cure and you'll have a long lasting repair. The plastic wrap will allow good release properties.

Way off your topic.

When repairing fiberglass on my old boat.
At the last layer, I put saran wrap on and press it down hard. IF I can use it there, a hard roller. Otherwise my hand. Peels right off and let it air cure til the sticky is off. THen sand it smooth.

Always use 3 pair of medical rubber gloves. When one gets sticky, peel it off and toss it.
Do the same with the gloves when I put TruOil on a stock. Both are a real bitch getting off the hands.

George,
One of the many wonderful uses for WD40 is getting Tru-oil off your hands. Spray it on your hands, rub it around, then wash with your regular soap. The WD40 removes the stock oil and the soap and water removes the WD40.

And I appreciate the inner tube tip on gluing A5 fore ends. They are like trying to clamp jello.
