whiskymac Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 (edited) Following the almighty soaking my gunstock had on at the north and south meet on saturday the grain has raised and become rough in places on my Miroku mk38 stock. Whats the best way to deal with this....... Can I use very fine wet/dry paper (used dry) or even wire wool to sand and then oil it with something like legia stock spray or ccl conditoning oil? Or would it be better to sand using a little oil as a lubricant, before oiling the whole stock? Thanks.

vampire Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 Do not put oil on it,you will not be able to stain/laquer over this.You could sand WITH the grain or you could use a new stanley blade dragged over it WITH the grain,then stain to match and touch in laquer.IMO i would strip the lot and redo it if its swelled in the rain it dont sound like its finished very well,no offence intended.

Paddy Galore! Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 Hi chap, i'm assuming that it already has an oiled finish here, firstly use fine wet&dry, 320 grit, then wet it. after an hour or so go over it again with 400 grit, wipe clean and leave to dry. then oil it. I'm not certain about some of the products on the market, i just use linseed oil, raw first as it soaks in better, and then boiled, mixed with a little thinner to help drying time, good luck with it. gram Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheeky sod. Sorted it thanks fellas, gave it a rub with some very fine wire wool and a little wet/dry paper in a little patch where it was quite rough. Palmed a little oil in and it seems fine.
