Update

I have two LC Smith stocks I am refinishing, one is the 20 GA above and the other is an 1987 field grade 12 GA.

The 20 Ga is still seeping brown into the whiting so I will continue with the acetone soaks and whiting coats.

On the 12 GA. The latest coat of whiting has been on for a week and has not discolored and seems to easily flake off. However when I rinse and use foaming crud cutter to get the whiting off I am still getting brown runoff in the rinse.

My questions is how clean is clean enough?

I am applying wood bleach right now but will post a few pics in a day or two after it dries.

Thanks
