Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use the Tru-Oil Kit on any type of wood stock?
Yes. Birchwood Casey Tru-Oil is formulated to work on virtually all wood species commonly used in gun stocks, including walnut, birch, maple, and beech. It penetrates the wood grain to build a protective finish from within, making it suitable for both raw, unfinished stocks and previously finished stocks that need refinishing or touch-up work.
How many coats of Tru-Oil are needed for a complete finish?
For a new or bare stock, most users apply 3 to 5 thin coats of Tru-Oil, allowing each coat to dry fully (typically 2–4 hours) before lightly sanding with fine steel wool and applying the next coat. Additional coats can be added for a deeper, more polished appearance. The included instructions walk you through each step of the process for best results.
Is this kit suitable for touching up an existing finish, or only for full refinishing jobs?
The Birchwood Casey Tru-Oil Kit works equally well for both touch-ups and complete refinishing projects. For minor scratches or worn areas, simply clean the surface, apply a thin coat of Tru-Oil to the affected area, and blend it into the surrounding finish. For a full refinish, strip the old finish, prepare the wood with steel wool, and build up new coats from scratch using the materials included in the kit.
