I'm cleaning up a Steyr 95 that is arsenal fresh and after stripping it down and cleaning up the metal I did two Whiting applications on the stock. The last app I left the Whiting on for 4 days and kept it in outside in the suns heat. The Whiting clayed up pretty good. I cleaned the stock up and left it in my shed and the next day when I went back into the shed the cosmoline odder was very strong. With such a strong smell permeating, I'm guessing there's more cosmo to be drawn out of the stock. I'll repeat the Whiting with the current heat wave of 96* temps, hopefully I can get more out.
