refinishing a Walther LP3 match grip

[Discocom]

Got the oil this week. It's very good, soaks into the wood and really bring out the grain, smells nice too!

The bottle now comes with a sponge applicator, I also used my finger to work the oil in as the heat from my skin helps it soak in.

Really recommend it.

Sounds like that's the secret then - use only the lightest coloured oil. I assumed that the stippling on my rifle went dark because it was oil, but it must've been that the oil was dark too.

I think it was just standard walnut oil that wasn't particularly dark on the wood grain, but the stippled areas just gobbled it up, turning them very dark indeed - and once done there was no reversing it.

It does darken the stippled areas a bit more than the plain grain areas as it soaks in, but what I liked with the oil was that as it was absorbed and dried you could see the wood lighten again, instructions say multiple coats will darken the colour.

The instructions recommended cleaning the wood with vinegar to remove old oil!!!

Hello to All,

+1 on the Scherell stock oil.

I used the 'Light' to finish the stock on my Anschutz 250, and it did an excellent job.

Have fun & a good weekend

Best regards
