[QUOTE="Bret GRAVELINE Graveline, post: 2922050, member: 108926"] When properly sanded you done need to go beyond 400 wet an dry, I know one of the better stock makers in the country claims he never goes beyond 320, its not to late permalink works well with most other finishes if not all, if it were me, I'd hit that stock with some 320, take a damp wash cloth and totally wipe the stock down, then knock down any high spots of raised wood, claro is a little more porous than other types of walnut, repeat it one more time with 400, once you have knocked it down again then use the permalyn, it usually takes about a half dozen coats to fill the pours, depending on the density of the grain, so sometimes less sometimes more, after each coat has dried, rub the stock down with 0000 steel wool down to bare wood, after about 6 coats again give or take you should have a evenly finished stock, the finish is now in the wood, if you like the way the satin finish looks wipe down with a good gun stock wax, I like Birchwood casey, sloppy a thin coat and let dry, I does this several times, if you prefer a high loss which on some guns a do skip the wax until you have the loss you are looking for, im sure that peace of.wood is going to look outstanding once completed [/QUOTE]
