hi all ,

 

just wondering what complete oil finishing kit to buy .? I want to strip my 682 and oil finish it but have no idea what to get , I just want one that has everything I need in one kit , don't care how much it costs I just want a real good one , any ideas ??

 

also with regards to grain sealer , do I have to use it , I know it saves time but if I remember right I used it years ago on a stock , but after a yr or so it looked like the finish was wearing off , it was almost as if the oil finish was a coating on the sealer NOT in the wood so-to-speak .

 

any help much appreciated

Hi

 

I use Welsh Wills kit, it's Tung oil based but blended with other oils too and gives a beautiful satin sheen rather than a glass like glossy finish..

 

Everything needed is included down to grain filler, Alkanet root oil, water based walnut stain, gloves, wipes, wire wool, Oh and the oil of course!! :lol:

Some stocks done with Wills kit...

 

Before (These had been done with Tru oil that didn't dry, was very tacky to the touch..)
