It is best apply to a clean gunstock that is separated from the action. Apply liberally by hand and let sit for 30 to 40 minutes before removing with a clean rag (white shop towels work great). If you wish to apply multiple applications, you may check beginning at about 6 hours after applying by running your hand across the stock - if it doesn’t show oily on your skin, it is ready for another application. Generally, it will take between 6 and 8 hours to properly dry depending on the atmospheric conditions (temperature, humidity, etc.) when it was applied. I usually use 2 or 3 applications depending on the condition of the wood.
