strimmer_13 Posted August 19, 2018 Report Share Posted August 19, 2018 I'm in the **** here, my uncle has given me a airsporter to clean up for him and whilst my back was turned my 3 year old decided to draw a line on the stock. Any ideas how to get it off?? I've tried wd40, no good, just had a go with thinners which worked to a point but I'm bricking it as I reckon it would take the finish off as well. The stock was immaculate until this happened. And it's that older BSA kinda varnish finish. Don't think re oiling would match. Any ideas on what to use??

Pigeon Shredder. Posted August 19, 2018 Report Share Posted August 19, 2018 Strip the whole stock and refinish it and tell your uncle it looks so much better than before ? And as as for leaving a 3 year old alone in a room with a gun the nanny state will be on you shortly ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heaven forbid that he crossed a garden, followed him mother into my workshop to put the tumble dryer on and touched a gun on my workbench whilst I was having a dump. I am definitely going to hell and my kid taken off me ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rovercoupe Posted August 19, 2018 Report Share Posted August 19, 2018 Nail polish remover, go steady or it might bring the varnish off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnphilip Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 If its a felt tip pen you could try this , BUT try it out on something else first , i call it treating like with like . On something that has a varnish an old scrap bit of wood , what you do is go over were a felttip has been , just do a little at a time . Rub the feltip over it , then straight away rub it of while still wet . Try it on an old piece it could work , i have had good luck with it before. Nothing to loose if you then have to strip and oil , and oil finish is far better anyway . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ditchman Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 as said before try T cut first.........if the marker is on varnish it will cut it off..........if the marker has gone into the wood de-oil the area and try bleach............
