TRU-OIL STOCK FINISH

TRU-OIL STOCK FINISH Reviews & Ratings

Easy-to-use Tru-Oil brings out the warm, natural beauty of a wood stock and gives it the look of a deep, rich, hand-rubbed finish without the hassle. It requires an average of only three coats and dries so fast - 90 to 120 minutes per coat - that a stock can be finished in one day! Tru-Oil is a purified triple-processed blend of all-natural oils that penetrates into the grain to seal out moisture. Won’t yellow or cloud the grain, and the surface becomes harder and tougher. Apply multiple coats to produce a high-gloss finish, or for a more subdued satin finish, cut back the gloss with fine steel wool or rubbing compound, then apply Birchwood Casey Stock Sheen & Conditioner (sold separately). Tru-Oil is perfect for refinishing existing stocks; for an unfinished stock, first apply Birchwood Casey Clear Sealer & Filler. Minor scuffs and marks on a stock finished with Tru-Oil are easily fixed: just rub the spot gently with a pad moistened with Tru-Oil.


SPECS: Available in 3 fl. oz. (90 ml) and 8 fl. oz. (237 ml) bottles. Dries in 90 to 120 minutes; cures in 48 hours.

Great Finish!
Great finishing product for gun stocks and other applications. Dries faster and leaves a deeper finish in much shorter time than anything I've used. And, that is saying something. I professionally refinish stocks. Beats boiled linseed oil, tung oil, teak oil, and even varathane oil finish.
