I'm currently trying to decosmoline an M1 stock and handgaurd set. So far I've baked the handgaurds in the oven @ 150*F wrapped in paper towels with foil around it. I've done this for a few hours and some cosmo has come out. The problem is there's more in the handgaurd that doesn't seem to come out plus it's very dark and seems to have gotten darker during this process. I want to stain the stock/handgaurds eventually to that sweet looking light reddish color. However with the walnut being so dark it just wount turn out right.
Should I use denatured alcohol or hot soapy water to leech out more of the cosmo or haven't I "baked" it enough yet?
Any info is appreciated.
