My piece "I Don't Hunt in the Rain" about this experience appeared in PP a while back; don't recall which issue. You can see before and after pics there. I hunted in the rain with my Trojan 16 and was dismayed to find the finish looked really worn and splotchy - actually bare in places. I brought it back with TimberLuxe. I didn't strip the finish but then mine wasn't flaky and coming off - just looked very, very worn. Brian says the product will blend the old finish with the new and I found that to be true, but YMMV. Several coats 24+ hours apart, applied with my fingers. Buy the original and a small bottle will do several stocks - it goes a LONG way! It's been a couple years and my bottle has never hardened; it will settle out but I've found you can redissolve it and as far as I can tell it doesn't affect the effectiveness. I actually keep my bottle on my desk now and shake it up every so often. I've used mine of some other wood items - it is GREAT stuff! Good luck!
