Lord Geordie Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 If you mean grain SEALER then NO. It takes longer to oil but you still get a good finish Lord Geordie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Geordie Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 ment grain filler>> http://www.chambersgunmakers.co.uk/ultra.htm but cheers It does the same job As i say you DONT really need it but it saves time if you DO as you will have to use loads of oil and it takes time to bring the sheen through. As for True oil i have HEARD its good but i have never used it. I use Gun stock oil and walnut oil and Linseed oil and when i get the shine through i finish with Wax to lock out the water and once every 3 month or so i just wax again with Birchwood casey gunstock wax Lord geordie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemini Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 Oil the wood in the normal way by rubbing it in with the palm of your hand, then sprinkle some talcum powder over the wood and rub that in. Wipe everything clean with a cloth and put the stock away for a couple of days before continuing with the oiling. Talcum powder is made from chalk. Chalk and linseed are the main ingredients of putty, and if you use this recipe when you first start oiling you will fill a hell of a lot of the grain without too much trouble. Then it’s a case of applying one finger of oil per day and rubbing it in for half an hour. Reduces the overall finishing time by a couple of weeks if you do it properly. Then once it’s really got that depth of sheen, apply a little talc to a cloth and polish the wood. absolutely great for that final deep lustre; just keep it out of the chequering. G.M.

Big Dog Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 nppulse the answer is yes! To get a good finish on any wood you need to fill the grain unless it is dence like ebony and as part of the process if the grain rises when you wet it keep rubbing it back until it stops rising. I think you have the answer in the company product you posted. If you can get it go for it it isn't dear. Time and patience are the costly bit. I have limited experience on stocks allow quite a bit on wood generally. Remember that wax is soft and most wear off quite easily. So have a supply of it to keep touching it up. I know some school wax the stocks each time used??? Some people oil on a regular basis. Go with what has been tested, it will have instructions too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Geordie Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 I have never used the stuff and MY wood came up FINE. Both Walnut AND beech came up with a nice sheen LG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marlin.45 Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 Just refinished the walnut stock on the CZ452 and started that using Ronseal wood filler (colour matched the stock)! It was very pock marked anyway but I used a small amount of the wet slurry mix on the top of the jar and hand rubbed this into the grain. Left for 4-5 hours then flattened with medium grade wirewool. Repeated twice. Followed up with Birchood Casey filler/sealer. Two coats with medium grade wirewool, again. And Finally two coats of BC Tru-Oil and flattened after each of these with fine grade WW. Looks like a £500 gun now I've always used filler on an untreated stock but varied the applications depending on the quality of the wood.
