[QUOTE="turkeyrun, post: 2406454, member: 27991"] cut the BLO with mineral spirits. 2 part BLO with 1 part MS. 0000 steel wool between coats. 1 coat with a min 24 hrs dry between coats. 6 - 7 coats for best finish and protection. On the last coat, the more you rub / polish, the glossier the finish. depending on use / handling. will probably have to buff with the steel wool and add a coat or 2 of the BLO / MS every yr or so. same can be done with poly, finishes from flat to high gloss. great for other stock finishes, but I don't think I would use it on a milsurp UNLESS the stock was really rough and it was just a chooter. poly will last a long time and with stand hard use.
