andy_s Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 Hi people, I have bought one of the stock refinishing kits and I intend to stain the stock so will be using the sealer & filler. Could anyone please advise me, should I stain the stock and then apply the sealer before using then try-oil or use the sealer, then stain, then tru-oil? Thanks.....Andy.

Westley Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 Did the kit not come with instructions ? I would have thought stain, sealer (if that is grain filler) and then oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saltings Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 (edited) if you want a good finish sealer first flatting down between cotes and when you are not lifting grain apply stain to your liking then apply finish always flatting out between cotes when applying oil finish using wire wool to create a slurry which will fill the grain then palm finish then sort checkering after finishing when happy apply boiled linseed oil sparingly to seal / finishing oil Edited November 10, 2016 by Saltings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshwarrior Posted November 11, 2016 Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 Stain Seal throw truoil in the bin and use a proper oil to finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_s Posted November 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 Thanks for the advice, I ended up not bothering with stain and just applied the oil and it's looking good so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuji Shooter Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 That Truoil is something else, don't use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westley Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 (edited) I thought it was just me, who would not even use Tru-Oil on their garden fence ! If I could only get pictures on here, I could show you the stock of my 725 which is currently going through a facelift, (courtesy of CCL) Edited November 18, 2016 by Westley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
