I would like to get the high gloss finish on my stock, how is this achieved?
|
|
I use Birchwood Casey Tru oil and 0000 steel wool.
Apply Tru Oil, let dry, lightly buff with 0000 steel wool. Repeat. Each application brings a little more gloss. Usually 5-6 applications and it's pretty glossy. Be sure to keep the process as lint free as possible This is a very easy process. All the work is in the wood prep. |

Even faster is to use Gloss polyurethane or lacquer.
Apply a coat and let dry. Sand lightly, repeat until the grain is totally filled. Usually no more than 3 to 4 coats. In addition, these are tough, durable finishes and are what most gun companies use. Lacquer is faster because it dries much quicker. |
