What finish does Kibler's use after staining a stock with iron nitrate?
After staining, Jim applies Permalyn Sealer, made by Laurel Mountain Forge, which Kibler's sells. It is a thin finish that penetrates well, dries fairly fast, and is durable and water resistant. Jim notes that many different finishing products can produce a good looking result, since the outcome depends more on technique than on the specific product used.
