what is your method for getting delrin buttcap and finish smooth and no lip

do you undercut buttsleeve or do buttcap after finish.

obv everyone knows delrin doesnt glue well or hold finish

i saw a searing and youd swear it was finished over it was that smooth

What ever the material, you can always make the butt sleeve slightly smaller & then build up your finish, above it. Then just sand the finish, down to the delrin's level...JER

No, it's done with either a cnc, pantograph, or in Bill Strouds case hand carved. One of the uses of delrin is in clothes driers where it's often used as the bushing that the drum rides on. You won't "brand a logo in very easily!

just more hot air!
