Is it possible to shrink Luger wood grips?

[ArtB]

Long time since I look at this here forum. Still same subjects. Years ago I published here a fool proof grip cleaning method that I have used about 30 years. It was here in the forum archives for years---may still be---I don't know how to find it. It even contained pictures. Bottom line----the only place water is good on wood is old ship wrecks!! Use paste paint and varnish remover. Let girps soak in a plastic container over night (ususaly is long enough). Clean off varnish remover with tooth brush and then paper towels soaked with acetone. Maybe tooth brush again and final liberal application of acetone. Some times the grips swell a bit. Couple days later they look sooo good and fit same as before. Leave the soap to Mrs Murphy!!!

Here's the link. It is an excellent, well written resource that I have bookmarked.

Thank you, Art, for the time and effort you invested in sharing your method.
