I couldn't - Marc [cdmech] directed me to their site.
Here's my Mauser repair thread - I used polyester resin for those two stocks -

Acrylate glue, like "crazy glue", is even ok for small, clean, closed cracks where it can penetrate the wood

Hugh Clark recommended Crazy Glue to me when I was looking to fix a grip...I've never used it...The instructions say it sets in under a minute; it takes me longer than that just to get the parts mated...
Cascophen is a Resorcinol Formaldehyde Adhesive...I don't follow the EPA news, but I would bet it is the formaldehyde that has been restricted and something else substituted in the 'commercial market' Resorcinol Glue products. Weldwood markets something they call Resorcinol Glue, but it doesn't hold. BTW, I did my Gonzo carbine buttstock sectioning with Cascophen. It even fills chip holes, seams, mistakes [oops!]. It sands down almost like Walnut.
