Refinishing my 10/22 stock( COMPLETE )
- Thread starter boxerjake77
- Start date
As of now it's been stripped, sanded w/ random orbital 180 grit, hand sanded 180 grit, two part A&B wood bleached, after it dried I sanded with 400.
Sprayed on 3 coats of blue dye stain, last coat seen soaking in stock. Looks electric!!
Here's where it gets to be a tough decision. Working in a wood finishing shop, I have access to all kinds of finishes. I will most likely spray a conversion varnish, for toughness, and finish up hand rubbing with wool lube,and steelwool, to soften up the finish, so it doesn't look like a "off the gun" type finish.

Sprayed first few coats, scuffing in-between coats. Gonna let it cure for a while, scuff it, and spray the money coat later. Looks better in person.
Done, gotta let the finish shrink-up, and fully cure before I rub it out.
Might just leave it as is, looks great!!
