I would never use alcohol on a gun whose finish I want to preserve since alcohol is a solvent for shellac. If you are refinishing the wood, GO FOR IT.

Quoted from John Bastiani- "and a hair dryer on a small dent and it brought out most of the dent until the hair dryer kicked off from getting to hot."
Been a looooong time since I used a hair dryer or had one cut off due to being too hot!! ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Well: I got most of the small dent out without hurting the finish. I also went over the dent with boiled linseed oil several times and it seemed to help cover and fill in what didn't completely come out. I also tried to get out the larger dent using the same method but it hasn't worked. Im afraid that a hot iron is the only way to steam the larger dent out and I know the heat will probably hurt the finish. I just hope that the timberluxe works and will blend in if I decide to go that route. Might just let it go for now and practice on a old stock that I have and see how it turns out.

By the way, what gun are you working on? I looked back and noticed that you did not include this in your original post. Do you know the finish is oil, oil/varnish or shellac?

I either treat it as an all or nothing project. I got brave enough to pull my dent out. I then sanded it down to 400 grit and refinished it with boiled Lind seed oil. Not perfect by any means but looks a million times better IMO. I wanted to leave a few old scars in the wood to keeps its aged look.
Before... ![]() After about a dozen coats of BLO... ![]() ![]() ![]() Below photo is after about 2 coats of BLO along with a 32 rimfire R Murdock. Both looked like they were ready for the scrap barrel before I started with both of them. ![]() ![]() The 10 gauge receiver was rusted solid and the hammers and pins frozen in place before I went to town on it.
