The easiest way to refresh and oil your stock leaving it silky smooth and ready for a coat of Slippery Dicks Gun Wax Facebook Page is : Stocks Refinished Website: www.slipperydicksgunwax.co.uk
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.
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
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.
@@slipperydicksgunstockwax327 sorry mate it was the Birchwood Casey Tru Oil stock refinishing kit that I’ve bought. It has the walnut stain, a bottle of Tru Oil and also a bottle of stock sheen and conditioner. However after watching your video I’d rather refinish my stock the way you’ve demonstrated, and I was just wondering if I could utilise any or a concoction of any of the liquids that come in the kit? I’ve just bought your wax to finish off the stock once I get it to that stage. Regards Alan
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.
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
