I am continuing to rehabilitate this Remington 700. I have a new recoil pad on, now I am looking at touching up the stock.
It has a number of shallow dents and scratches, only a couple of which are deep enough to (barely) penetrate the finish into the wood. They are all small, 1/2" or less.
Is there a compound that can be applied directly to the existing finish to re-seal (and ideally, aesthetically cover up too) this damage?
The finish is whatever Remington was applying at the factory 10 years ago - it looks to me like a polyurethane but I could be wrong. It is the satin finish, not a gloss.
Using the search function here, all the stock finishing how-tos I found were for a full refinish starting with bare wood. The damage to this stock doesn't seem to justify that yet.
Thanks.
