Removing Grime.....

[Bruce Day]

Murphy's Oil Soap and a toothbrush removes dirt, oil and grime and will not remove a solid finish. We have had people who were disappointed and claim that it removed too much. If it will come off with Murphy's it wasn't a good finish. There is a surprising amount of plain dirt and crud on these old guns.

Here is a 1910 GHE damascus 12 that had a stock that was crazed and murky. Murphy's Oil soap and some denatured alcohol was used to take off the stuff that came off then multiple thin coats of Tru Oil.
