I have de-oiled a stock for my 20 ga. Fox bird gun in preparation for a refinish. Wood needs no sanding before beginning a sanded in finish (Pilkington style). I've run into something I've not had happen before when using whiting/alcohol. After removing the whiting from the wood I still have some very tiny traces of whiting left in some pores of the wood that I cannot seem to get out. They are near the butt on both sides. I've tried a fine bronze wire brush but evidently the bristles are too coarse to get down into the tiny pores to remove the whiting. Again, these are extremely tiny, but very visible.
Two questions. Is there a way to get it out of those tiny pores, or, if I begin the sanding in of the finish will the traces of whiting just "disappear"? Would really like some guidance from experienced stockers/refinishers. Pictures could be provided if needed.
Thanks, SRH
