Re: Building an F-class Stock - Ready to trial
Hi All,
Thought I'd do a little more on my old stock today. It's shaping up pretty smoothly and is almost ready for finishing. I was looking at tru-oil, its procedure and it looks good. I think I'd like to stain and oil it.
Are there any product similar to Tru-oil available from Bunnings that anyone knows of?
Here's a few pics.

Investigate Minwax wipe-on poly or equivalent, applied using a piece of micro cloth. I have used same in satin on two laminated f open stocks..durable and attractive..more durable than an oil finish. Cheers John S.

Keep sanding it up mate! Otherwise Im sure you know a panel beater that will spray it for you. Dont need to do as much sanding if they give it a good spray with primer filler first!

Hi John S, I picked up some Feast Watson Wipe On Poly (satin) and walnut stain. I looked up the Minwax stuff as you suggested and looks simple with good results.
I'm super keen to get this done now. I stained a test piece of the same timber and it looks quite good. Apparently Minwax is currently pretty hard to find on the shelf.
Thanks, I really appreciate your suggestion.

Sneak peak. 2 coats of Walnut stain and first coat of wipe on polyurethane satin finish. Not sure how many coats I'll do yet, at least 2 I think.
JohnS, doo you sand between coats of poly?
What grade of paper do you use?

DennisA, I used 0000 steel wool, a light rub and wipe between coats. I ended up applying 5 to 6 coats with micro cloth giving a lint free finish. I rated it better then Tru Oil. Keith H and Matt P put me onto it a couple of years ago. Cheers John S.

Hi Denis
It's looking good.
+1 on the 0000 steel wool. I did about 5 coats on the Panda stock using a marine grade polyurethane. Rubbing it back nicely each time will fill in any pores in the timber. I hope you raised the pores with a damp cloth to start with and then sanded back. That just eliminates the stain and finish from raising the grain.
Cheers Andrew
