Stippling question
So I'm getting ready to take the plunge on my G26, but I haven't decided what pattern to stipple.
Ideally I'd like to mirror the pic below...
But it looks a bit advanced. You guys that have done this type of work have any guesses on the tip or technique it might take to achieve this type of Stippling? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
looks like they used a round semi-large sized object heated, and then just dragged it down.
It's definitely a Drag style stipple job though.
I think you are probably right, I've got a few different tips, but that method sounds a bit advanced.Originally Posted by NightCat
That top left brass looking rounded one.
i'd use that, get it nice and hot, stick it into the area then do a small flick down and see..
I practiced on a PMAG before I ever touched one of my pistol frames with an iron.
Been practicing on grips and pmags. Hopefully will do a glock... In the next 6 months
I personally like the feel of a more fine stipple. That just touches the surface of the plastic vs a deep stipple.

That crossed my mind, I may need to file it a bit smaller, it's larger than the pic makes it look, I'll likely bust out a pmag for practice.
Ended up going with a very aggressive "lava rock" style texture. Here is progress so far.....
Nice, looks good. I did the same on mine; just used the finest tip I had and poked till it was all done.
Thanks man, here is the finished product...
looks awesome! did you sand down the raised area before starting?
