old english scratch remover yes or no
 

hi im trying to figure out if using old english scratch remover on the stock of a gun will devaluate it. any input would be appreciated

I hate giving this type of answer, but....

It depends. A high gloss varnish or shellac could absorb some under the coating and start peeling. An "oiled" stock may be no problem.

I would suggest that you find a small area that is not readily seen and try a dab.

I've used it on old beat-up guns to make them look better. Sometimes it makes a world of difference.

Have to agree- As far as "devaluate it" - No if its used on compatable wood, color & finish. I've used it ---

thanks that's really helpful

Use the Old English for Light colored finishes regardless of the color or the original finish. The Old English for dark colored woods turns bare wood black.
