I have read the acetone bath thread, but that got me thinking...what next? I would like to refinish the stocks on my gun, mainly to show the figure better, but what after getting all the old finish off? I have heard that you can use a wet washcloth and an iron to raise dents, but what about scratches? will they mostly come out in the wash, so to speak? Whats the best way to re-cut checkering? What kind of finish do you use?
I refinished (butchered) a Stevens 311A (its now my "Coach Gun"), but I learned very little about stock refinishing. I know that 10 or 12 coats of Frombys tung oil will give a very nice finish, but its really light....
Is there an all inclusive stock refinishing thread that I've just missed? The search engine on here leaves alittle to be desired...
