Grip Repair
Not sure if this is the correct forum for my uestion, but here goes.
As a young Deputy, back in the mid 70's, I carried a 2.5" 66 as an off duty weapon. I wasn't happy with the original grips, so I contacted Fuzzy Farrant. He sent me a form with instructions on how to measure my hand for a perfect fit. Three weeks later I received my custom grips. The difference was amazing.
At some point in the past 40 years, I managed to knock a small chip out of the bottom of one of the panels.
I recall a post on the forum praising the work of a members grip repairing service. Could someone direct me to this member?

Actually it's pretty easy to repair chips and cuts in grips. The best thing to use is epoxy. Dye it to the correct color to match the grips. Fill, let it set a day, lightly sand to smooth the surface. You can selectively refinish the area around the repair if needed, or you can refinish the grips entirely. If you don't feel brave enough to attempt this yourself, there is a member who will do it for you. I forget his name, but somebody will post it for you.

Grip Repair
You could also contact Dan Diedrich (dotdsd334).
He does outstanding, professional work with grip repairs. He repaired a chipped Model 19 Goncalo Alves grip for me and it's almost impossible to detect the repair.
