Hi Steven,Just wanted to get your help with a stock finish.I refinished a Beretta 687eell that had a poly finish.I used your method outlined in your book.I use the daily products.I like the finishes i get.They really look nice.i also stained the stock with your method.My question was i didn't fill the pores as much as i would have like to.At the time i thought it was fine ,but the more i look at it the more i want to redo it.Can i just mix up some filler and put it right on top of my finish coat of tung oil ,and then start from there or am i going to have to sand the finish coats off and then refill it.Also will i have to re-stain it.

PS . Have you made any changes in the way you finish your stock.Do you still use the daily brand of products. thanks for your help.

Hi PB,

Considering you are willing to redo it, maybe you could try sanding the stock as is
with 600 grit sand paper with the finish you used and working in the slurry it will
generate with your hand. You may want to use a rubber glove as I have read
somewhere that tung oil can have dermatitic properties.

P.S.: This stock was finished in this way using another finisher:
