I dont like putting any type varnish or eurathane products on wood grips, the proper stain and a liberal dose of Tongue oil or boiled linseed oil and a high polish buffing with a good wax..[8D] 0 -

Yeah, I want plenty of wax on my wooden grips. I mean, I have no real need to be able to hold onto my .357 mag when it goes bang[:o)]0 -

I'm bringing this topic back to life a bit...
I got some smith grips and need to be refinished a little bit.
What would I use to strip the wax off these grips?
Where would I get tongue oil or boiled linseed oil?
These are Smith factory grips with a pretty fair amount of wax on them.
Thank you for your input.

You can get Tung Oil at Wally world.
But for gunstocks to furniture, I use a mixture of beeswax and boiled linseed oil and lots of elbow grease.
For stripping laquer off of checkered grips...whew. I suppose a chemical stripper and fine (brass?) brush for the checkered parts.
Watch you don't get it in your eyes or anywhere it'll stain or burn. If it's a wax and oil finish, you can use a hair dryer to bring it up.0 -

Aww, now. I've got wax/oil finish on most of my grips. I have no trouble hanging on. The cool thing is, if you get a dent, it's much easier to steam out and blend in without having to completely refinish the wood.0 -
