Tru-Oil ??? Who has it...

[bear.23]

I've spent the last hour trying to find somewhere to get some

I'm looking for the kit and I can't find it on Canada...

And it can't be shipped(thru normal channels) out of the US becuase it's considered hazardous goods.... I'm not about to pay $40 in shipping for a $15 bottle...

Any Idea where I can get a couple of the kits..

We carry Militec if you'd like to use it.

Wholesale Sports carries it, but really I'm suprised that you are having any trouble finding it. Around here it is as easy to find as Hoppes #9.

Check Wal-Mart. No kidding. I saw about ten cans of the aerosol stuff on the shelf yesterday.

Seriously....check out just about any hunting store or hunting section of a department store. Walmart often carries this kind of stuff.

Actually, walmart carries a lot of general hunting that people don't realise. They have silica gel beads, Browning and Remington brand accessories and clothing. Tru Oil, Hoppes stuff...

Al Simmons has a couple of the kits in stock. 905-522-1131

Tru Oil

I bought mine from Wholesale Sports. Forget about the aerosol can's, they are useless as they are full strength oil.
I used the Brichwood casey filler first. This fills the grain and adds some darkness to the wood. Then I used the BC walnut stain, diluted with water, you can always go darker but not lighter again so start light.
Then I applied about 10 coats of oil mixed 50/50 with mineral spirits. These light coats soak deaply into the wood. I let these dry for 24 hrs, and then rub down with 0000 steel wool. Then I used about 5 coats of 75/25 of oil to mineral spirits. Rubbing it into the wood by hand. After the 24 hrs rub down with steel wool except the last coat. when your done you have a fantastic oil finish. Here is a picture of my Cooey Mohawk 75.

You can accomplish the same result with Flecto oil finish (NOT the poly). Available at good Home hardware stores and likely any other place that has a good range of Flecto paints. Crappy Tire doesn't seem to carry it, at least not around here.
