Si-Bore Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 As title. I am after a satin finish after my friend has done my stock with Birchwood and Casey True Oil which has given a very glossy finish. Thanks Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gadgit Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Boiled Linseed oil gives a nice satin finish. Put it on and leave it for five mins, and then rub of the excess.......... Must be boiled !! it then drys nicely to a none sticky finish. Next day, no sticky at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si-Bore Posted January 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 I have some which I used to seal the inside of my HMR forend after sanding. There is already 8 coats of the True Oil on the shotgun stock. The Birchwood and Casey site say that you can use wire wool and a rubbing agent or the sheen and conditioner but my friend who is doing the job said with the wire wool it may be hard to get consistancy all over the stock. If you press down too hard in one area he thinks it may be inconsistant and doesn't want to spoil it. Thanks Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polski Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Have used it many times after refinishing a stock, be careful though, rub too hard and it will take all the finish off. Best to leave the stock a few days to make sure the oil has fully dried. Rick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gadgit Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Use a fine car finish rubbing down pad, they use them to finish the surface just before spraying. Its a thinish soft scowring pad that puts very fine scratches in the surface. This will not remove all the surface which you will want to keep. I did this on mine, and it worked a treat. :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is my worry. Cheers Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
