Was no rust so no I did not.
Okay - the boiling water sounds like an easier solution.
Thanks - read that idea online. Tried it today, but the clouds came out so it didn't work. Will try again as we have some sunny days coming up. Guy at LGS suggested a heat gun.
In the winter I have put the stock next to the fire place and let it sweat out that way too.
Make sure if you do this to have the end on the ground in a Pot to keep the cosmo from dripping on the floor (ask me how I know LMAO).
Be careful with a heat gun. Some lacqueres will turn yellow when you hit them with the heat gun
There will be that much of it coming out?
That shit will come out as long as you own a gun that has ever had it in it.
An ounce or so isn't uncommon
Good tip! Don't have one, so I was trying to clean it the free & cheap way with the black bag.
The inside is full of that stuff, so it makes sense.
There is a wee bit of rust on the back side of the butt plate cover and the trap door of the 1st one, so I will need to address that too.
There is a way to get it out but it involves in Stripping the stock and refinishing it.
I use Tilex Mold and Mildew formula and it strips it down to the wood.
Thought about doing that as the first one has some gouges on the side, but otherwise is okay. I'd prefer to leave it as is. Bet the gouges came from shipping....
To get Gouges out (most of them) I steam them with a Iron and a cloth soaked in water to make the steam, just make sure the cloth does not get dry as you steam the stock.
This process will make you have to refinish the stock though.
I've done that with carpet to get out mashed down places from furniture, but never a stock!
Will have to try it as that would make it look much better. Don't know if they will come out but it will be worth a try. Thanks!
On alot of the antiques I clean up, cosmoline isn't common.... But occasionally I find one that is saturated. In those cases I put an electric heater in a footlocker with the wood and set it on low for a day or so. Usually does the trick.
You can also use a steam cleaner on low.
I have a Ceramic heater I do this with.
I make a tent with a Heavy Aluminum foil in a large metal pan and it works very well.
I have some small heaters that I could rig up to work but I want to try the sun first.
