The application of alcohol to the wood will simulate the look of it with finish on it. That way you can see how that darker section will look in relation to the rest of it.

no matter what - you may well end up using stains to get every thing to match.

If I was into the gun as far as you are I would Acra- Glass the head of the stock, especially a 1 frame 12 bore. I will be doing my 0 frame 16 this winter. If you do a search on this site you should be able to find a couple old threads.

there should be directions on the tub, but mine says for bleaching disolve the 12 oz's in a gallon - or 3 OZ (a generous talespoon is an oz) in a quart of hot water.

personally - I would try it just a litle diluted first - and go to the full strength if the results are not enough.

by the way - here is the difference pre and post bleach in the canoe

inside of the canoe before bleaching


inside after bleaching


as for use - brush it on, let it sit for about 10 minutes and rinse it off a couple times with cold water, I rub a little baking soda mixed in a gallon on hot water to neutralize it after use, rinse that off good to keep a white film from showing up.
