Just received mine today-I spent hours with oil and the heel of my hand, I mean hours when I was younger. This wax and additive is unbelievable. Whole gun in 20 minutes and now both my Beretta and my Browning look like London Gun Finishes. Many thanks Guys!
I used Slippery Dicks walnut oil to finish a nice stock on my Anschutz, and it has come out nicely, I made a small cloth bun to apply the oil, several very thin coats, this was the method used by an old gunsmith I knew when I was a young lad, worked a treat.
I have had trouble with wire wool leaving small shards embedded under someone the finish. I was using the more fragile 0000 , so maybe my fault. Filling the pores by sanding in progressively less of the finish I used took me 15 hours of work and several weeks drying. Not all guns are deserving of that amount of time, so I am interested in your product. Thanks for posting.
Hello Friend, you are applying pure silicone to the wood. Said silicone hydrates the varnish, which is why that shine is generated. But that's not wax.
Ordered this for my walnut stock and it looks fantastic but can I ask if I'm doing it right? I apply wax, 4 drops as stated and then give it a buff? As I say it looks great, just making sure I'm doing it right. Would do multiple layers to make the grain pop more?
Can I use white spirit turp in the walnut oil along with the alkanet? I have a dark sided stock and the first 3 attempts were nice but darker than I prefered.
Just received walnut wax and additive - just used it on my Beretta 692 - unbelievable transformation- I’ve been using the wax for a good while since I was told about it by a friend who used to be a gunsmith. Thought I’d give the wax additive a try - ladies and gents if you haven’t tried it I cannot praise it enough - grab some before it sells out - could be scarce like toilet roll in lockdown one!
Been using your wax religiously- god knows how many coats my stock and fore-end have had! Ordered the wax additive - do I need to wire wool some of the wax off or can I just apply wax and additive?
Are you concerned about the wire wool dust getting into the grain when you get to the "slurry" stage? I seem to produce a lot of dust when using wire wool between oil coats, but maybe I'm pressing harder than you are here.
Hey man, awesome vid. Could you do one on how to remove a lacquer finish without damaging the checkering on a stock and foregrip? I want an oil finish but I also don't want to sand off my checkering
Thanks for doing this video - similar to the other air rifle user would you consider doing a video on what to do with a new HW100 stock, it's probably the most popular air rifle on the market and are sold with lovely walnut stocks but they have no final finish on them to protect from moisture, the forums and groups are alive with people asking what to do but would you consider doing a video of finishing one? They have a lovely matte effect and color from new however I fear that I may change it's appearance too much with oil/wax?
Hi, what did the stock look like before waxing, the wax only enhances what you have, try letting the wax dry for about 20 minutes before buffing see if that helps
@@slipperydicksgunwax8558 the stock is a oiled finished Browning 525 grade 3 in very good condition have left for 20 minutes lots of times? I know how to use wax on wood have been using it for years but not yours before. Thanks
Great vid, thanks! I’ve just purchased myself a Yildiz Pro with grade 4 wood and I want to use your walnut oil to really make the most of the wood with a satin finish. Would you still recommend the initial acetone approach on a new gun/stock? It makes me a little nervous hahaha! Given that it’s an oil finish from factory; can I just start with the walnut oil stage straight away? Many thanks! TBS
Hi, if you don’t want to go to the extreme of stripping it I would just use my walnut wax and wax additive, it makes a massive difference, there’s a video on my Facebook page Stocks Refinished showing how to use it and loads of customers pictures of before and after
Hi Paul saw your video on raising dents and scratches and wanted to be clear on the procedure. Like Barbara I have a new gun with a highly oil finished stock. My ear protectors unfortunately put some sinks in it. I do not want to snag the stock down as it will never come back the same colour or match the fore end. Can I raise the dinks by applying steam direct to oiled stock?
