Title: Please help me get rid of the smell
Post by: el greco on March 19, 2012, 04:33:00 PM
I refinished last month a Browning Explorer with tru oil(put like 4 coats) and a month later the oil odor is still strong.Should I sand it again and use urethane?Does Urethane smells equally?Thanks in advance.

TruOil is a linseed based finish. Give it time, it'll go away. Quite frankly I  like the smell, but then again I've done a lot of rifles in linseed and maybe I'm biased.

I love the smell of linseed oil. And I wouldn't think animals would associate it with humans.

you could always take it out in the yard and roll it in something dead . works for my dogs after I wash them and they don't want to smell like shampoo .
