Hey folks,
I have an old LC Smith side by side stock I am currently refinishing. It had some old gun oil in it so I used Brownell's "Old Fashioned Whiting" to get the oil out. It worked very well for removing gun oil from the wood but now some of the whiting powder seems to be caked into the pores of the wood. I couldn't brush it out so I tried vacuuming it out but that didn't work very well, and then I also tried soaking the stock in acetone hoping that the powder would dissolve into the solvent but that didn't seem to work either. I've attached a few pictures showing the problem. Anyone run into this issue before? Thoughts?
Thanks!
