TruOil finishes can cloud if the gun is in the rain and the stock gets wet. Timberluxe doesn’t .

That's an interesting point Bruce. I don't have enough experience with Timberluxe to form an opinion. But I'll tuck that thought into the back of my mind and will observe. Thanks for mentioning that. I hadn't heard that before.

Tru-oil does not cloud in the rain.

I looked at Timberlux a few years ago, after reading the MSDS, I realized that it was a mixture of linseed oil, sunflower oil, naphtha (thinner) and some metallic driers.
I don't know about sunflower oil for protecting wood, but linseed oil is not great. I've tried a lot of finishes in my shop, the one that I always go back to is Tru-Oil. depending on how I apply it, and rub it out, I can replicate just about any finish from a high gloss "piano finish" to a hand rubbed oil finish. And no it doesn't cloud. |

I have had quite a few instances of TruOil stocks clouding up when wet. Particularly those that were finished to an extremely high gloss. I have noticed that the cloudy areas usually coincide with the wet stock being in contact with something warm, a hand, shoulder car seat etc. Almost without exception, after drying thoroughly, and with a little buffing, the clouding disappeared. It may have somthing to do with the generally high temps down here in South Texas.

Timberluxe gives much more depth and color to a stock finish than tru-oil. Therein lies the major difference.
