FalconFN Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 I've used it on knife handles and a beech stock with no issues at all. You need to allow the first coats to soak in, remove excess and let dry, then do several thin coats, allowing ech to totally dry, and keep going until you get the finish you want. I like a semi-matt finish so only put on about 5 coats but the more you do the glossier it gets but you have to let each coat totally dry first. What issues did you have straightshooter?

straightshooter1 Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 might be ok for a knife handle but not a gun stock see my thread http://forums.pigeonwatch.co.uk/forums/index.php?/topic/60285-stock-repair-and-refinnishing/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used it on a couple of antique chairs I'd stripped down. It gave a lovely semi gloss finish, didn't affect the wood colour and was easy to apply. Don't know what wood they're made of or how it would affect other woods. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you paraphrase why it's not good as my beech stock is pretty good with a nice natural sheen, and it has lasted 5 years with no issues.
