The surface must be dry, clean and free from dirt or loose remnants of the previous finish. Apply a thin, even coat with a brush or soft oil-soaked cloth. Allow it to penetrate overnight and then polish the surface with a soft cloth. If necessary, repeat the treatment once per day until the required colour is achieved. Must the stock be sanded before treatment? For complete restoration or renewal of a damaged finish, the surface should be sanded evenly and cleaned of all sanding dust. Routine maintenance of a sound existing oil finish may not require extensive sanding. Always work carefully in the direction of the grain. How much will the dark-brown oil change the colour? It gradually darkens the wood, but the final shade depends on the species of wood, its original colour, surface preparation and the number of coats. Each additional coat may deepen the shade. Test the product on a small, inconspicuous area first. Can it be used on a varnished or painted stock? Balsin is primarily intended for unfinished or oil-finished open-pore natural wood. An intact varnish or paint layer prevents the oil from penetrating. If the stock is to be refinished, consult a gunsmith or wood-finishing specialist about removing the existing coating and choosing the appropriate treatment. Will Balsin repair cracks in the wood? No. It conditions dry wood and improves its resistance, but it does not repair structural cracks, broken areas or loose joints. A damaged stock should be inspected and repaired by a competent specialist before the firearm is used. What is the difference between dark brown, bright and reddish-brown Balsin? Dark brown is intended to restore or deepen darker wood tones. The bright version changes the original colour less, while reddish brown produces a warmer shade. The manufacturer permits all three Balsin colours to be mixed to create a preferred tone. Does Balsin contain silicone? Yes. According to the manufacturer’s data sheet, Balsin contains silicones and synthetic components. If the stock may later be glued, varnished or professionally refinished, tell the person carrying out the work because silicone residue can affect the adhesion of some finishes. Can the same oil be used on firearm metalwork? Balsin is a wood-care product. Use a dedicated gun oil to clean, lubricate and protect metal components against corrosion. Wipe away any Balsin that reaches the metal while the stock is being treated. What safety precautions are required? The liquid and its vapour are highly flammable. Work in a well-ventilated area and keep the product away from heat, sparks, open flames and other ignition sources. Do not smoke while using it. Keep the bottle closed, store it in a cool place away from children and dispose of used oily cloths safely in accordance with local requirements. When is Ballistol Balsin Dark Brown the right choice? This version is suitable for the regular care of dark natural-wood stocks and for refreshing a faded or worn colour. It is also a useful choice when the grain should be made more visible and the existing tone gradually deepened. Choose Balsin Bright when retaining a lighter original shade is more important. The reddish-brown version provides a warmer tone. Before treating a varnished, synthetic or laminated stock, confirm that the surface is suitable for an absorbing wood oil. Expert recommendation Test the oil on a hidden area before treating the entire stock, as the same dark-brown oil can produce different results on different woods. For complete restoration, sand carefully in the direction of the grain and remove all dust. Avoid coarse abrasives or metal brushes that could leave visible scratches. Apply several thin coats instead of one heavy coat. Allow every coat to penetrate overnight and remove any excess before applying the next layer. After the final treatment, polish the stock with a clean, lint-free cloth. Do not reassemble or use the firearm until the surface is dry and no longer tacky.
