Stock Sheen & Conditioner; - Fine, Medium and Coarse Papers; - 00 Steel Wool Pads; - Service and Polish Cloths; - Complete Instruction Guide; Review: Wonderful Stuff! - I love this stuff, and I can't find enough things to use it on! Stocks are just the beginning! Tru-oil is absolutely wonderful stuff! Now when I say that I'm polishing my wood, it isn't a euphemism! I'm a pretty handy guy, but I have moved a lot for work and always rented, so I never had a lot of household woodworking projects to do. I wanted to NICELY refinish a gunstock, but I have never really worked with wood much. I did a LOT of research to try to find a nice method of completing my task and I got a dozen conflicting pieces of advice. Eventually I settled on Tru-Oil, partially thanks to my uncle's recommendation (why not try to trust family above internet forums, right?), partially because of the price, partially because it was designed to preserve gunstocks, and partially because it was one of the easiest finishes to remove if I didn't like it. I am SO GLAD that I used tru-oil. This stuff is great! It really isn't that difficult to work with if you take your time, and the results are amazing! The grain in my stock catches the light and shimmers like a polished tigers-eye gem! I'd add a picture, but I can't take one that does it any justice. And it could have been even better if I had more experience. My impatience and inexperience left a few streaks and such. One day I'll refinish all my old guns to match, and I'll use Tru-Oil along with the lessons I learned in my first attempt. Some tips I learned in my first attempt: 1) Thin coats. Lots of them. A little goes a long way. I got in a hurry and ended up with some heavily-oiled areas and drops that I had to sand down, and I never got it all to match perfectly again. 2) Prep. I did a pretty good job of this, but I see how important it was. Your wood should be very well prepared and sanded super-smooth before starting. 3) WEAR GLOVES - the tru-oil does not wash off easily with regular soap and it took forever to get it off of my hands. After the first coat I started using latex gloves and cleanup was much easier. 4) If you use the stain, be very careful to do everything in one batch and in one pass. The stain's intensity multiplies with each brush stroke, so it is important to be completely even-handed. 5) If you don't have one, try to rig up some kind of drying rack so that you can coat a whole piece at a time rather than one side at a time (I used some folded cardboard to make a stand that only touched upon the unfinished surfaces). 6) You'll need more 0000 steel wool and rags than come with the kit. Possibly more sandpaper too. There is plenty of oil to do a few rifles. 7) The tru-oil by itself was too slick and shiny for my liking, the B.C. conditioner and wax just tidied everything up perfectly. I'm hooked and I highly recommend this stuff. I hope that helps. Review: Amazing results! - This kit and company is still #1. I will never use anything else. The quality results i get are to die for. Once its all said and done it not tacky or sticky. I absolutely love the control of shade you have. No matter how many coats you do, if you want it a bit darker? Put another on. Let it dry thoroughly. Dont over saturate but if u do sand and repeat. Definitely wet sand after 4 hours of first coat to get a self made wood filler with same color. It is high gloss when finished but not sticky at all. Smooth to the touch. Slides in my palm when spinning my revolver. Looks store bought. I had my son burn a design in a set of triceratop wood grips i bought on here and even the burnt wood absorbed the stain. Just dont use cotten or felt. Dont polute ur finish with fabric debris. Using ur damn fingers and rub each coat in nice n firmly. After about 5 coats i got a rich dark walnut shade.
