Anyone used the Galazan CSM Parker Bros. original Stock Finish or French Polish?

Just curious as I haven't done this before if it would be better to order one of those bottles rather then mix it up myself?

Was curious if anyone had any experience with them?

A little over a year ago I had a G grade 20 ga. with spotty and worn wood. I found the recipe for French polish-I think here. I cleaned the stock off with alcohol, mixed up the ingredients and started. A very small amount is used at each coating. At five coats it started to take on a nice depth an shine. I stopped at seven coats. More would have given even better depth. After a drying period I put on a coat of Johnson's paste wax. Don't know if it was needed but I like to shoot that 20 and do it in all kinds of weather.

I have used the French Polish from Galazan. It works very well. A piece of old tee shirt, a cotton ball, and a rubber band to make a small pad for French polishing, works great. You need some alcohol and oil. I used some olive oil and some Everclear it worked great.

Does it come with any instructions or directions?
