Daveo26 Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 Iv got a new Miroku recently (I might have mentioned it...) and the stock is nice and smooth but the finish was abit thin looking its hard to explain but it looked like the oil was sat on the wood rather than in it. The book recommended Legia spray and I happened to have some that I was given years ago. Has anyone used this stuff? It seems more like polish than and oil finish, I put a couple of coats on and when i buff it off as per instructions the only difference is the smell and the wood is slippy!! Iv also got some "Phillips Engish walnut oil prep" and was thinking about using a little of that on it. Will it affect the finish if I use a different kind of oil on top of what is already on? I hope someone can help me here. Cheers, Dave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seeker Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 Depends on what finish you start with ... several seem to use a surface finish on new guns ... quick spray and away!! If you fancy doing it yourself there's several good kits ... or read the thread on stock refinishing on PW ... should see you thro the freeze. Legia do a wood spray in a green can but reds not a problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daveo26 Posted December 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 several seem to use a surface finish on new guns Surface finish? can they do a surface oil finish? According to the handbook mines got an oil finish I assumed it would have had oil rubbed in obviously not for weeks like a top grade gun... I just want to add to it and try and waterproof it a bit better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seeker Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 From memory French Polish is an 'on' surface finish, like spray and dips .. Hand rubbed oil is 'in' .. Good preparation and patience take time ...which costs when done by hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
