I follow up the freshly stripped stock with hat water rinse and then a spray of foaming "Crud cutter" doing its thing for 5-7 mins and then another hot rinse and one more application of the Crud Cutter. I Rinse off again and then let dry to evaluate what de-oiling and repair effort may be next in line. Probably does about the same with the dawn rinse. I have to say the foaming Crud cutter does a yeoman's job of this first step cleaning.

So far I have not noticed any ill effects but I also have not gotten past the de-oil and repairs on any but a couple stocks. I am just starting to re-apply finish on those.

I am taking plenty of pics so I will eventually report with pics.
