Filling in a deep gouge on shaft

I fill in deep gouges on shafts with Duro gel (cyanoacrylate) building up coats until the gouge is filled and then (lightly) use 600, 1200, and finally 2000 grit wet or dry sandpaper to smooth out the shaft. (Obviously, I only do this when the ding/gouge is too deep to pop out with steam.) Are there other, better, methods out there? Any help would be appreciated.

ME TOO...JER

Thank you Varneycues and thank you Blackheartcues. If it's a good enough method for you gentlemen, then it's definitely good enough for the likes of me. (Nice to know I've been doing it right.) :)

Again, many thanks!
 
Well since we're being honest here:rolleyes::p I have done this sometimes as well, but did'nt know how many others do It too, or felt about it. My customers don't seem to mind, and I don't feel as if It really hurts the shaft at all, especially considering the condition when they first come in, and the end result. If It can be steamed that's the first option, but sometimes they are way beyond that. I would'nt do too wide of an area with It, but on the smaller or thin long gouges it works well. There are many good uses for ca both thin and gel.

Anyone, found anything those new loc-tite brush types are good for by any chance?

How do you make sure the gouge or affected area is fully cleaned of the chalk dust and stuff in the pores of the wood?
