Default Quick dry tru oil

When your get ready to apply the tru oil, put some armor all on the stocks/wood first. Just dampen the wood, then rub the tru oil on the wood. The mixture will start to start to thicken as you work the tru oil in. After a couple of minutes the mixture will start to set, not hard but you will feel the diffenence. Set it aside and it will set up in 30 minutes or so. You can add coates as soon as it dries. You can steel wool(0000) between coats and the finish will soon begin to fill the wood grain. Continue until you get the finish you want. You can knock the luster down with 0000, or leave it glossy. The finish will dry like varnish. If you don't like what you got, put the grips in acetone, strip it all off and start over. This stuff is very easy to work with. This works excellent for grips/stocks. There is a lot of print about this method. Go to rimfirecentral.com and under search type in tru oil Armor All. You will find quite a few posts on this subject. More than I have covered here.
