If you're using drying oils, be sure to lay the rag flat and allow it to dry. These can self ignite if left balled up.
Each subsequent coat takes longer to dry, which tells me the pores are getting filled and less is soaking in.
Gunny, does that cosmo soaked stock forever weep cosmoline or does it dry inside the wood?What I posted does not saturate a stock.
What you posted was what was thought to GIs between the 40s and 60s.
The pic is correct.
Here is a picture of a cosmoline soaked stock that was cut.
It will not cure like BLO. It will weep depending on how much is in the wood and how hot it gets.Gunny, does that cosmo soaked stock forever weep cosmoline or does it dry inside the wood?
That looks like one of the ones coming from Classic Firearms.Gunny, had to laugh at work today. After our discussion about cosmoline yesterday, we got in this rifle as an ffl transfer.

It should cleanup nice.
Removing the cosmoline from the metal parts is easy. They just need to be hung with wire and pour boiling water on them. Spray with a good cleaner and pour more boiling water. The water will heat the metal and cause it to dry. The apply good gun oil and wipe down.Bingo!
Yes, but I don't envy him that chore.
