Will dubbin sink into the wood?..........Or lie on the surface and when the gun is used clag up your hands, face and clothing?

 

Just use a spot or two of walnut oil rubbed in with your hands using the heat generated by the rubbing action, on an oil finish that is!

I keep a walnut oiled chamois kept in an old sweet tin.

A lot of guns have a sort of factory (truecoat) applied polyurethane varnish finnish and nothing soaks into the wood. I have seen many guns where the owner has vigerously applied various products and ended up with a sticky claggy stock.

Not highjacking the thread but going with fortunes post.I have a Baikal s x s which came from a valued friend so it's somewhat sentimental.

It had never been touched stockwise and the gun is as new.However at some point in it's life it had a boot on the stock and that left it with a 4 inch black stain on the stock.

So I decided to strip it back using a scarscen scraper.There was no penetration whatsoever of the factory finish into the wood.So walnut wood stain was applied until a nice depth of colour was reached.i followed this up with 4 coates minimum of Danish oil.It now looks superb and it's brought some lovely figuring out.

Mods feel free to relocate this post if not appropriate.
