LWalker Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 Hi everyone, I’m wondering if anyone can give me some advice on applying CCL to my browning b525. Am I right in saying apply with bare hand leave for a hour then rub the stock again to remove excess? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LWalker Posted November 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 Thanks dunks, I never used it as I’ve never been 100% confident on how to actually apply it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panoma1 Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 (edited) Just put a spot on the palm of your hand rub them together then rub the stock vigorously with your hands until you can feel the warmth......I do my gunstock maybe a couple of times a year.......never had to rub any excess off, because there isn’t any, it’s all worked into the wood!......I rate the stuff! I assume your 525 is oil finished not varnished? Edited November 24, 2019 by panoma1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancer425 Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 Used cci its good, as discribedre application. I have tried a few oils typical linseed oil teak oil etc over years, but pure tung oil is good on wood. bought a litre of it of fleabay £12 its gone up a bit now at £14 but its cheap and it will last you years just maintaining a finnish etc. Fleabay no . 302200713043 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The instructions talk about removing previous finishes. Is that necessary? My stock is oiled and I used CCL a couple of years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lancer425 Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 I use it curently on two guns a spanish sidelock and a 3 inch magnum SXS, they were both oil finnished when i got them, the Sidelock was brand new to me in 1981 no idea what they used. But i have not removed any previous finnishes, had no problems with either gun and the magnum at least sees some rough treatment. 29 minutes ago, Townie said: I’ve got some tung oil.

How do I remove it ? Quote You might have used a little too much oil so it has built a layer on top of the wood instead of being worked in completely. The trick is to apply as little oil as possible and repeat this a few times, allowing each layer to cure for a few days. You can remove surplus, sticky oil with… CCL itself. Just put some on a piece of clean white cloth and wipe it off. If done the right way, a CCL stock treatment needs about a week to cure completely after the final layer. You can speed up the curing by exposing your stock to bright sunlight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leave for a few minutes then palm it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
