So I've stippled about a dozen frames so far but I've only gone as far as removing the finger grooves, undercutting the trigger guard, and stippling 360°. My question is if whoever is doing this are you completely removing the factory textures? Specifically the gen 4 are you removing the small squares and then stippling. I've yet to make it completely smooth and then having at it. I'm also going to use a flap disc in the Dremel this time which is a new thing. I'm confident in my ability just want to make sure it's 100% safe.
Also if you have any advice on the bordering I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance. EK |
| I did some stippling/reshaping on a set of pistol grips and they came out nice. It will probably come out fine when you do it and will save you a ton. Just take your time and don't rush. Just throwing it out there, but another poster showed off his frame completed by Polymer Refined and the texture they put on it,( I think it was a matrix configuration),definitely enhanced the overall appearance and look. It is pricey but if you make any mistakes, there are options. Also, I think the Glockstore sells frames for only $75.00 if you need to replace it. |

^^^^ mine looks similar, I removed the texture first too. Next time I do something I'll probably try one of the router setups for my dremel.
I think one of the flat tips from this kit would make bordering easier |

Quoted:
Use painters tape or masking tape to create any borders/lines you want. As long as you don't hold down too long, you can go right up to the tape, and even if you miss and go slightly onto the tape, I've never had it go through and scorch an area I didn't want textured. I use the same method on mine, 2-3 layers thick of masking tape will keep pretty much anything from burning through it. |
