Per the instructions of my favorite double gun gunsmith he had me apply two coats of LinSpeed, one per day in our dry climate, and then using fine French steel wool cut it back to the wood. It did take a half dozen or more applications but the results were great. When perfectly filled I set the stock aside for a week. Then for finish coats I cut the LinSpeed about in half with mineral spirits and put a little on the palm of my hand and briskly rubbed the stock, rewetting the palm when needed. Finish sparingly, it doesn't take much. About two or three finish coated well rubbed in were enough for a perfect finish.
