I was nervous using this for the first time. Would I apply enough? Too much? Would I burn the stock with the heat gun? Not to worry. Application was easy and with the heat gun set at 500 degrees I had no stock charring and excellent color change. Applying the Moutain Laurel sealant and finish yielded a very beautiful and striking tiger stripe in the fancy curly maple of my Kibler SMR rifle stock. This is so much better than any other stain I have used to date. I wouldn’t use anything else on curly maple going forward.
I find the Iron Nitrate stain fascinating because by it's self it really leaves alot to be desired, however add some heat and Tride & True oil and it really comes to life. Overall I think it is great!!!!!!
