Default RE: tru oil

mauser it sounds like you put the Sheen/Conditioner over the Tru Oil before it was fully dried. You are supposed wait 48-72 hours AFTER your last coat of TruOil before putting any Sheen on it. Since the TruOil was still wet the Sheen worked into it and thus the "milky" appearance. Hate to break it too ya, but sounds like you gotta get out the stripper (and I aint talkin about the 6' tall blonde type) and start over. But the good news is, once you strip ALL the old TruOil, Sheen and anything else from the wood you can let the stock dry out (I'd give it a week) and then stain it too your choice.

You can't hurry wood and finishes, think about it this way. What you are doing with your stock right now (for the next month) isn't squat too the service and joy a properly finished stock will bring you for the rest of your life.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh patience grasshoppah!!!
