pianoman 3,589 Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 Hi 123HW80. What did you use to stain your HW80 stock? Dry it off thoroughly and resand with progressively finer grades of sandpaper. Give the stock a dip of Nitromorse to clean out the last dirty impurity. Dry thoroughly. Then use a gunsmith's approved stock oil like Nikkerson's English Walnut Stock Oil Preparation. Hand rubbing it deep into the grain with your heel of your palm. Keep repeating untill the oil shines the stock and lets the natural beauty of the wood breathe Simon Quote Link to post
andyfr1968 772 Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 (edited) Wood stain won't peal, mate. What products have you used and what exactly have you done? Edit to add... Are you sure you've stripped all of the varnish off? It must be right down to the bare wood otherwise you've no chance. Edited October 5, 2011 by andyfr1968 Quote Link to post
