Wonder lube 1000 plus

[barebackjack]

So ive been putting a few additional coats of tru-oil on my GPR the last few days. I really like the tru-oil but dont like the high gloss finish it leaves. Ive been whiskering this back in-between each coat with 0000 steel wool, but this is almost to rough.

Soooooo, last night I was going through my tub-o-blackpowder gear and come across a jar of wonder lube 1000 plus. Im reading the back and notice they say to pretty much coat the entire gun "beautifies and protects oil finished stocks". So what the hell, Ill try it on a test spot.

I rub a little in near the butt plate, wait a half hour, and buff it off with an old t-shirt, low and behold the shine is gone. So I do the whole stock, and it made a real nice satin finish.

Anybody else ever try this?

Try Pumice and oil to cut back on the shine, and rottenstone and oil to get a satin finish. With the lube, I think that the wax is setting and cutting down on the shine, but will eventually rub off and the shine will be back......

I use wonderlube on my nicely grained walnut stock on my trade gun. It is just like using furniture polish. It cleans up the stock, oils the wood, and leaves a nice finish on it.

What you have going is a dis-similar fluid chemical reaction that would probably turn into a gooey mess.

I use and recommend Rottenstone and Linseed oil. Hand rub and wipe off until the desired satin finish is achieved.

Does that come with warming action? :winking:

Next time try Lin-speed, it don't finish up as shiny.

It won't help you on this one, but maybe next time instead of tru-oil, try a danish or tung oil. I use it all the time on inside wood carvings, and have had excellent results. You can stop applying at a semi gloss, or add more to really make it shine. After that, we use Butchers Boston Polish, an amber paste wax. It is formulated to clean and polish to a hard finish, imparting a satin luster to wood and many other surfaces. It's been around since 1880. Pahaska
