OK, I have read a lot of posts about removing cosmoline. I have been able to remove a fair amount from the stock of my SKS. This is a $99 rifle and I don't really want to make a life long project of this thing. Everything cleaned up nicely except the stock. I thought I had it pretty good but after leaving it sit for a week more has appeared at the surface.
My question is, if I remove what I can from the surface (again) let it dry and then add a few coats of Tung oil will that help prevent it from seeping out? I don't really care about the looks I just want to be able to go shoot it without getting a cosmo bath when the stock heats up.
I guess I'll find out soon enough unless anyone has any other suggestions for sealling the stuff in.
Thanks
