Stiple work on Polymer frames/stocks?.

Who has done stiple work on polymar frames or plastic?

How does one do it and what is used?

I suspect it is done with a soldering iron but would like to know if one should try and get a soldering iron with variable temp - are those available.

I want to do some stipling on a polymer/plastic rifle stock.

I had some done a while back. It was done with a soldering iron, carefully. It's really time consuming.

I've been chomping at the bit to have a go at this but no one wants to give me a frame to play with :'(

Khumba, I've experimented on Kydex and it works well but is a bit time consuming.

Count Bla, I understand that you may be interested in some Kydex Bondage gear....? If you hold still while I use the heat gun I'm sure that we can get it all sorted out hpy194
