On leather it's the same: no dye, no permanent shade change like heavy conditioners. Test the inside of the forend, or the back of a sling, and look at it dry.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Will it leave the stock or the leather tacky, or attract dust?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA: No. Wipe it on thin, wait ten minutes, buff until nothing comes off on your hand. What's left is a dry wax finish, not a film. Tackiness only comes from putting on too much and not buffing it off.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Will it fill or soften the checkering?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA: Not if you keep it thin. Use almost nothing over checkering, or tape it off. Heavy oil is what fills the points. A thin wipe of wax doesn't.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Can I use it over an oil finish? Over Tru-Oil, varnish, lacquer, or shellac?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA: Yes. It goes on top of the finish you have and doesn't strip, sand, or stain it. On a shellac milsurp stock, clean first and test a hidden spot, since old shellac is soft.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: My stock is sticky, grimy, or greasy from a foam case or old cosmoline. Will it fix that?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA: Clean first, then feed. A buildup wipe or a rag with mineral spirits takes off case-foam residue and grime. Cosmoline has to come out of the wood before anything goes in; the salve won't pull grease. Once the stock is clean and dry, yes.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Does it work on synthetic or laminate stocks?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA: Laminate, yes; it's wood under a finish. Synthetic, no. Plastic has nothing to feed. Save the jar for the sling.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What about the metal: bluing, the buttplate, rust?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA: If it gets on steel, wipe it off. It's plant oil and wax, nothing that attacks bluing. It doesn't remove or prevent rust; that's steel wool and gun oil, same as always. And don't store a damp sling on the gun.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Does it fix cracks or gouges?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA: No. A crack needs glue, a gouge needs filler. This is for the finish and the leather. If it needs a gunsmith, it still needs a gunsmith.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Will it lower the value of an original-finish rifle?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA: It doesn't strip, sand, stain, or add a hard finish, so the original finish is still the original finish. Collectors should still test the inside of the forend and go thin.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How is this different from boiled linseed, Tru-Oil, or Kramer's? And what about rain?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA: Linseed feels right but never fully dries and barely seals against water. Tru-Oil dries hard and glossy and looks like plastic on an old gun. Kramer's wants a week of daily coats. This wipes on, buffs dry in ten minutes, and the wax helps water bead instead of soaking in. It's not a polyurethane seal; wipe the gun down after a wet day like you would anyway.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Why pay this when linseed is five dollars a quart?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA: Because the quart is still in your garage, half full, and the stock is still grey. Linseed never dries, Tru-Oil goes plastic, and a refinish is $600 and six weeks. One jar does every wood stock and every piece of leather you own, and if it doesn't bring them back, you get the money back.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Will it soften a shooting sling or a holster too much, or rot the stitching?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA: A light coat conditions without collapsing the shape; if it has to stay stiff, use less and wipe off what's left. A carry sling that's gone hard can take more and sit overnight. And no petroleum means no rotted stitching; petroleum products and neatsfoot compound are what eat linen thread.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How often do I apply it, and how much does one rifle take?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA: Once before season, once after. More if it lives in the truck.
