I painted the entire inside of the stock with a heavy coat of wax, and then the outside of the stock as well. Then set that in a corner to dry over night. The next day, with a clean cotton sock, I began to buff that wax excess off.
My GP flintlockcame with nothing more than a dull stain finish.I coated it with wax, then hit it with my wife's hair dryer, then rubbedit in,let it dry, and buffed it. Did that three times and it came out real nice. Very weatherproof.
