Thanks Darren: The checkering will be up to Marty. I would suggest a minimal amount in the grip area since it does actually have a purpose.
Thanks Ed: This stuff is essentially a varnish so it tends to build up on the surface, once the pores in the wood are filled in. It's supposed to be better than tung oil because it gets harder. Supposedly tung oil will feel sticky on a stock when handled on a warm day. Not sure what this stuff is made of, but I do detect a slight fishy odor when applying it, as with Rustoleum.
