well. maybe you can just cut the crack out if the bottom. how long are they. if there is a finish over it now it isnt delrin
byw call danny janes. maybe he can replace and inlay the name again...

1/2 in. starting at the bottom of the butt cap
As mentioned already the original maker is usually the best bet.It looks like they will do it for about 75.00.

id call danny. set something up he can make it like new and orginals again. truth is. its not worth alot so if you get another maker to fix it you wont be hurting much. inother words if danny wants 100$ and 4-6 months and someone else wants 40$ and a week, pay the 40$
If It's cracked or chipped then My guess is It probably isn't delrin, but as mentioned replacing a butt cap is a pretty basic repair. I would always first recommend to someone to have the original maker do the work, but on a scale to 10, I would put the job somewhere in the 5 range or maybe even lower. As far as stopping any cracks, for what It would take to try to do that, IMHO you might as well have It replaced. It doesn't take that much more labor to do It right. Finish work Is probably the most time consuming.
