Churchill Windsor III cracked foregrip

UncleDon · Apr 20, 2024

Newbie here,
I have a Churchill Windsor III (bought in '86(?)) that has developed 3 very small cracks in the bottem rear of the foregrip. Does anyone know if or how these can be repaired?

cyanoacrylate.

Seriously? Super glue? I was actually looking for help. Not some hack job.

Any fix will involve adhesive of some sort. CA glue flows into cracks very well because it is not viscous. It is a viable option. Epoxy would arguably be a more professional fix, but it would be a judgement call on how well you'd be able to work it into the cracks.

The biggest challenge of fixing any crack is figuring out what caused the crack and how to prevent it from happening again. If you do not fix the root cause you will just end up with more cracks.
