Winchester P14 stock restoration

Oh it's true. If it doesn't remove stains completely they'll at least be lightened significantly. If the first application doesn't get it do another, three at most because then you're just wasting time. let each application dry over night to let the acid do it's work. Once the stock is oiled they can be very hard to detect.
No need to get all suited up it's a very mild acid. It won't eat your skin or clothes or anything crazy like that, just gloves if wish but eye protection is always a must while using tools and chemicals.

I saw some videos of guys dunking their hands in it to show how mild it is!
Being derived from rhubard I hope it leaves a fresh out of the oven scent!

Again I very much appreciate the tip!!
Results to follow.

After applying circa furniture stripper, then wiped with acetone, then boiling water poured on it and then washed with warm water and dawn repeated 3 times, the stains are stubbornly hanging in there.

Savogran 12 Oz Wood Bleach is what I have. I checked, Home depot will ship it to your local store, so will True Value. Amazon probably sells it too.

I will call and get some ordered thanks!

I grabbed some bar keepers friend yesterday and it does NOT work.... at least not on what I'm dealing with anyway.

Spoke too soon!
In better light the stains have lightened up a little so I will repeat the process over the next couple days and see how it comes out.

Yup, Barkeepers friend has, I think, 10% OC. May get you to where you want. If not go 100% that'll get you there in a jiffy.

Savogran 12oz is a nogo at canadian Home depot....
If bar keepers fails ill order 100% off amazon.
