7 coats minimum to get grain filled and a finish durable enough !!

every gunstock is different and will pose different issues , i found that using the iron method to raise dents also helps raise the grain and any impurities such as skin oils and blood stains especially on the older carry guns , extreme cases of over oiling especially around the tang area might need to be soaked in acetone overnight , i like to wipe down stocks with 99 % isopropyl between coats if i handle the stock with bare hands and it gives you a idea what another coat will do . renaissance wax after gives added protection , sand till you think your good then sand some more i. good video

I just used this kit to refinish my shotgun stock.  I did 5 coats and it still took a little longer than I expected but the finish came out great, just what I was hoping for.

The STOCK SHEEN AND  CONDITIONER takes the SHEEN down to a hand rub finish. It says so on the bottle.

nice video. looking to do this myself for a few projects for the first time. thanks for sharing your experience

True Oil is a clear lacquer finish and the more coats you put on ,the smoother the surface becomes and the shinier it gets. Sand in between coats so it holds better and fills in the surface.  Thin layers are the way to go until it shiny everywhere. Takes only a few hours between coats to dry.
 I like the way you only did a few coats and then steel wooled it for a less shiny finish. I may try that next time. I like the super shiny finish normally.

I would avoid “smoothing out” the rifle bedding!  It’s unnecessary and jeopardizes the rifle’s fit

If you 400 to 600 grit wet sand the first two coats into the pores then steel wool with the 0000 course to remove some bumps and drips. Then you can thin coat it about five or six times and watch it shine

Easy to do without checkering

Given the wear sanding does on the inside, is it worth it? I’ve always avoided it

I have Carl Weather .22 fanbrik KKJ rifle and its stock is broken. Can you help in making a new one?

What’s the dry time on the stain?

You definitely should have put on another coat or 2

The only reason I watched you because I thought you was going to  do step-by-step on everything you cut out a step. Thanks a lot.

You should have wet the stock and sanded it before the stain .

I’m from Vancouver Canada. I purchased a PCP air rifle. The Woodstock is Turkish walnut.

A lot of people on YouTube recommend Birchwood Casey True oil. The finish is quite rough on the gun. I don’t know if they put any stain on it or if it’s natural.
I would like to sand it down and make the Gun finish into a very smooth semi glossy black finish.

Do you recommend this product? I can’t seem to find the company website.

The proper stain for a gunstock is RED. Like the high grade English stopping rifles for Africa.

Dry time 2 hours? Bullshit 24 is more like it .

Talking too much get to the point

You need to sand the Tru Oil into the pores. Look at other videos and educate yourself.
