French polish will cloud and soften in moisture.

Timberluxe is preferred as it is waterproof , will penetrate existing finishes and is easy to apply. It is compounded by a stockist who is a PGCA member. Available on line.

I have had some good success by using Parker finish by Galazan using a French polish method to blend.

That said there are lot better products out there to protect and give excellent results when doing a complete stock refinish.

Default how to tell ?

short of keel-hauling, how does one tell if their stock suffers from areas of worn off finish ?

I am a duck hunter and my Parkers get WET frequently. All of my Parkers have original finish wood or lack there of. I use Renaissance wax on all my guns, great stuff and worth the cost in my opinion. The key is drying the gun out as soon as you finish your hunt. Wipe it down good with a dry towel and place it in a warm room barrels off. Re-wax when dry and you are good to go.
