Application Instructions
Preparation:
- Ensure wood surface is clean, dry, and properly sanded
- Use an old cotton t-shirt or natural fiber cloth for application
- Work in a well-ventilated area
Application Steps:
- Rub on thin coats of Gunstock Oil with a cotton cloth until the wood is saturated with oil
- Apply only as much oil as will absorb in a day
- Wipe off all excess oil before it becomes tacky
- Build up 2-3 coats or more as desired for depth and richness
- Allow each coat to penetrate fully before applying the next (you can apply coats over several days)
- It is not necessary to sand between coats, however wet sanding between coats can provide a smoother, shinier finish
- After your desired last coat, buff off any excess oil thoroughly
- Let air dry for a few days before handling
Optional Top Coat: For additional sheen and waterproofing, you can top coat with our Gunstock Wax after the oil has fully dried.

Composition
We disclose ALL ingredients that we use. Heritage Natural Finishes contain NO petroleum products, or metallic drying agents whatsoever! We use only the highest quality ingredients from the most sustainable sources possible. What you see here is what you get. If you have any questions, you can always call us!
Tung Oil
100% pure with no additives. This is the highest quality tung oil available; drying harder and forming a more durable finish than linseed oil alone. Both oils are dryer-free and slightly heat-treated (polymerized).
Special Aged Linseed Oil
Obtained from flax grown in the Red River Valley of the U.S. and Canada. It is purified and refined by natural oxidation and blowing, and dries as clear or clearer than tung oil, with none of the characteristic discoloration that is typical of hardware store varieties. No other finishing oil penetrates as deeply into wood.
Beeswax
Only filtered, chemical and bleach-free white beeswax wax is used. Beeswax adds visual depth of grain, smoothness, and elastic durability. Beeswax forms a skim coat that keeps the finish on the wood, slowing the evaporation of the solvent, which gives the oils more time for absorption.
Pure Citrus Solvent
This is the purest form of citrus turpenes (solvent), extracted from cold-pressed orange peel oil. This is the only solvent used in our finishes, and is also sold separately for thinning product or cleaning up. Pure Citrus Solvent is a safer alternative to mineral spirits, and other harsh solvents and can be used the same way.
Pine Rosin
Gum rosin extracted from pine sap and separated from the turpentine. This is the gum rosin found in heart pine, giving the wood its hardness and durability. We use only top grade, crystal-free, water-white rosin. No synthetic resins are used.
