Do you carry Tried & True Varnish Oil?

We carry only our own Kibler's Gunstock Sealer & Finish. Tried & True Varnish Oil is available on Amazon and at woodworking suppliers. It's the finish Jim uses most often. It's a linseed-oil-based finish with rosin added, partially polymerized so it cures faster than plain linseed oil. For the first coat or two, it can be thinned 50/50 with turpentine. It may take 3 to 4 days to dry without sunlight.
