I used the Minwax wipe on poly to refinish a Tobin, I got from John Mann, a long time ago. It took a while, and I rubbed between coats with a white scotchbrite pad. I didnt want a bunch of money tied up in a lower grade gun.
It worked excellent. A friend wanted an old gun to shoot, with the same requirements, (not much money) and bought it from me. I wouldnt say the gun received heavy use, but, it got plenty of use, friend is very conscious of the limitations of a Tobin and likes it anyway, but, has developed MS and seldom hunts anymore.
The stock still looks excellent. Ive refinished two stocks with poly, and Id happily do another with the same product. No cachet from using it on this board, but, the results met my expectations. If I am not mistaken, there is a version of that product that is indoor use only, so, be careful of which one you buy.
Best,
Ted
