Ive refinished many Mil-surp riflestocks in the past, using Silicone Carbide sandpaper "wet" while applying Tung/BLO. 220 grit, followed by 320, works great! This time I thought Id try using 0000 steel wool "wet" after the 320 sanding coat. (a tip from another site`s member) BIG MISTAKE!! I have tiny fibers of wool in my grain/oil now, and face the chore of removing them. In the past, I only used 0000 to remove any shine to a dried last coat of oil. On another site they say to NEVER use steel wool dry, I say BULL!! Ill never use it on a wet stock again! Just thought Id let you learn from my mistake.-
