Smokey 1 56 Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 I am pondering whether to bother attempting re finishing the stock on my HW100 as it is looking a bit tired. I have had a bit of a search on you tube but the videos don't seem to be much cop. Anyone done one? or has a link to a thread etc, so I can get some tips? Thanks Smokey Quote Link to post

Wildling 520 Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 I've had ago with that Tru-Oil on a old BSA lightning I had lying around and its great stuff leaves a great finish, smells great and is hard as nails ! Just like Stealthy says follow the instructions and have a search on youtube, loads of videos of Yanks using it on rifles. Quote Link to post
Buster321c 1,010 Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 If its Walnut , use a grain sealer before oiling Quote Link to post

porkycrook 466 Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 Man in Preston has found his twin brother living in Oxford. T.V. crews and reporters found them both doing the same thing at the same time. I've taken all the original treatment off, down to the original walnut. I am unsure what grade rubbing paper to go down to? In my pen making arsenal i have sanding pads that go as high a grit as 12000, i know that is over the top for wood but what would people suggest. At the moment and unless any of you tell me different, i have intentions of putting on a minimum of 10 coats of Tru-Oil with light rubbing out between coats then polish out with car polish at the end.
