Box liner application or something to add some bulk to an old stock?

Very uncomfortable to shoot, coworker bedlined an SKS stock and it was chewing out faces up like 80grit sand paper.

Felt nice in the hands tho, to remedy that issue he made his own cheek riser.

We used fiberglass resin to seal the insides of the stock.

A real "we don't give a flying $&@?" rifle to say the least.
 
Years ago there were some companies using it on grip areas on PRS rifles. Think some still do. It works pretty well for this application.

Probably not as thick as they apply to the bed of a truck but I want to test the waters on this stock because I'm ordering an unfinished walnut one so if I don't succeed I can apply a nice stain to a new stock and use the Rhino stock as a club.
 
Canadian Tire spray on bed liner (available in spray cans) does a very nice job. You get a smooth durable lightly pebbled texture:

I have used it on stocks, magazines and various non-gun metal hardware. In my opinion it is more comfortable and more durable than the black pebbled finish that Boyds uses on there stocks, such as the ProVarmint:

I will second the suggestion of using EZ liner. I stripped and reshaped a 10/22 beech stock and then used the same product with great results. It has been very durable and will hold up to hard use. It can also be smoothed with a piece of denim and some elbow grease. Just apply several light coats till its covered.
I have even used it to coat an airgun barrel.

To add bulk you could try jb weld putty, kneed it then shape it to whatever you want then apply to stock.
I made a cheek riser with it then sanded it to shape and coated it with EZ liner. I dont have an image anymore but sold it to a friend and it took him a couple hours to get it off. I used the plastic weld on a synthetic stock. Great stuff. Looks like they sell something called kwik wood!
