It should be noted that it's difficult to get brushed-on finishes to self-level on gun stocks because the process depends on gravity. I've noticed this with shellac and varnish wanting to run if I hang the stock (I don't like to finish stocks by halfsies. I've tried making jigs to hold the stock horizontally through its action inlet screw holes, but I'm really too lazy to want to do that for each). I haven't noticed any running with Tru-Oil when applied manually (ie fingers) .... I think the fingers plus the friction generates heat which induces the Tru-Oil to immediately self-level. Just a wild guess, though. Comments?
