mrikirkby Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 I have got a stock that was stripped and had couple of coats of danish oil put on. I would like to put tru oil in it but can i put it on over the danish ? If not how do you remove the danish oil ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshwarrior Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 Tru oil is great for stick a tool handled but not for gun stocks. I prefer a linseed or walnut based oil like Napier stock oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrikirkby Posted April 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 What's the best way to apply linseed oil then ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshwarrior Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 By hand couple of drops in the palm of warm hand and rub it in until it feels warm. Seal the grain properly first and it goes on great and look fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudpatten Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 It has to be boiled linseed oil which will dry over a period of time by oxidisation and give a bit of colour. Ordinary linseed oil takes for ever to dry and imparts little or no coulour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshwarrior Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 Sorry yes boiled linseed oil you can add a hardener to speed up the drying as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brent52 Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 3 parts artist quality linseed oil , 1 part artist quality pure turpentine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hector Vector Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 Boiled Linseed oil, pure Turpentine, Venice Turpentine, Carnauba wax and Terebine dryers in the right proportions works a treat to give a really good finish. And it smells nice... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
