I am trying to refinish the stock on a Mosin Nagant M44. I used paint stripper to remove the "what ever". O3I applied the stripper with a brush and then wiped it off with a cloth. My problem is the oil. The stock feels waxy. I can't get it down to a dry wood feel. I don't want to use sand paper on it, but even if I tried it would only load up with wax, grease, oil, whatever.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks for any help.
