elmar fudd Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 i decided to re-do the stock and forend on my 687 myself, after speaking to my mate who happens to be the local rfd who does stocks he informed me on what to do, following his instructions i removed the wood from the gun and sanded it down with 2000 wet and dry and then again with 2500 wet and dry, i then gave the wood its first coat of oil, left it for 10 mins and rubbed excess of with a cloth, i gave it an hour and repeated, it had 3 coats yesterday and has had three today aswell, however the finish is the same as it was before i started, i wanted a really nice shiny finish and its just not, im using parker hale walnut oil, on his reccomendation, am i doing anything wrong ? how do i get this shine? thanks fudd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabbiter Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 are you rubbing the oil in by hand,using the heat from your hand?only ever done one myself but got another to do,so ill be watching this thread,may take lots of coats as I think the wood soaks the oil into it,so you have to keep building the layers ,im assuming...............DAZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
