I've used your ideas on dent steaming, bleach stain removal and finishing. 3 times now. Back 4 years ago I restored my M1 Garand and a 22lr Romanian bolt training rifle. I just this weekend 17/6/ 23 reworked my 1967 RFI 2A1 . I thank you again.
Good job on that. I'm doing a custom stock right now. I got a hairline crack near the bolt and a dent near the fore end I'm getting out. I steamed it and improved it some but now I have to remove the finish to get it the rest of the way
shootingatdawn I have an sks with oil finish I want to remove cosmoline and dents and re oil will the heated spot take the oil different? worried about spotty finish. thanks!
can you get dents out of a finished stock with steam - and not damage the finish - it will cloud the finish and require refinishing- on a new gun stock with a few dents that;s not an acceptable repair .... any one know how to remove dents with out damaging the finish??
Its better to remove the stock finish first. The dent will certainly start to pop out without removing the finish but the heat will start to remover the finish anyway - so you will end up having to remove it all.
@@shootingatdawn thanks I was going to ask same question. Also on your video where you bleached out the stain , does it effect the darkness of the grain ? I have a old mosin that would look good with cherry red if I can keep the e grain dark
@@shootingatdawn thanks getting the red hue I wanted didn't work out, but after sanding and bleaching the grain really stood out once the Truoil hit it

You ever figure this out?
You can get some out, by steaming, but deep ones no. Best to remove the finish, then steam it.
Can I just simply pop out the dent without removing the original stock paint?
Its better to remove the stock finish first. The dent will certainly start to pop out without removing the finish but the heat will start to remover the finish anyway - so you will end up having to remove it all.

@@mamjack6134 sorry mate but I dont know. The beech came out really light so possibly. I would try a test piece first.
