I want to do an oil finish on my Renegade but don't want to do much sanding as the wood/ metal fit is really close already.
What's the best stripper to use?
What's the best stripper to use?
I just finished stripping my Dixie Gun Works single barrel shotgun. Citrus Strip stripper is the way to go. It worked fast for me, less than an hour. Be sure to wear safety glasses and gloves. I got a drop on me and I thought it was going to burn through my arm.
It is harsh. I really like it since I can use it in an apartment and not get run out due to the fumes. One jug last for Many stocks too.
I once stripped a Rem 700 BDL Varmint special stock. Those have that High gloss epoxy finish on them. It took 2 rounds, instead of my usual 1 round, but it made the finish so soft (did not wrinkle) you just used something like a putty knife to remove it. The bad thing was it was also started actually eating the black forend tip, did not realize those were plastic till then. I just had to sand and polish it again to look good. Usually one good round is all that is needed. I too use Gloves and just wipe it on with a folded Paper towel and let sit. Use and old toothbrush to get into checkering or tight spots.
