Auction speak

I bought a pair of Franzite staghorn grips for a good price from Numrich. Nice and not badly warped, but shrunk too much. But didn't return them, as that would have cost a couple more bucks and they were cheap anyway. I was thinking of using something to fill in at the bottom next to the screw. Something I could then file and sand down to fit BUT it has to adhere to the Franzite where applied. Anyone with experience with this? Auto bondo, or super glue with chalk or white paint mixed in?

I won a bid on a pair of Franzite grips that appeared to be new. I didn't have much in them and thought maybe I could use them. Anyway, when they arrived they were at least 3/16in. too short vertically......maybe more!! They were totally useless, as I couldn't figure out how to "stretch" them. I didn't figure the seller would do anything about them as he had a number of disclaimers in the ad. He said send them back and he would refund all of my money!! I did, and he re-listed them and got MORE for them than I had paid!! So goes life in the World of lugers.
