The epoxy I use is PPG urethane clear epoxy with hardener. Today I was hoping that the butt stock would be done soaking up the stain. I go it to match the police forend last night but this morning it seam a bit darker that what I wanted. So, I decided to mess around with the forend putting a clear coat on it experimenting with applying it with a cloth instead of my spray gun. It takes longer to dry due to the fact I had to put more thinner in it so it would create a smooth finish. The end result its like pouring liquid glass on wood. It drys to touch in 15 minutes but I like to let it sit a couple days just so it dries into the wood. With the spray gun so it very quick process and is the last thing you do or I'm out a $300 snap on spray gun. and that 15 min includes clean up so you only really have 10 mins to work.

Looks pretty nice. The more I see people refinishing their Police furniture, the more I'm considering doing something on my 870P. Great job.

That looks really nice. Personally, I like how my Police hardwood set looks with all the nicks and dents it picked up in the line of duty. Fancy finishes just make me obsess about damaging them, so that furniture only ever gets "sweat-polished" while I'm handling and shooting it (which is why areas of the the grip, comb, and fore-end have a higher luster then the rest of the wood).

Still, it's cool to see how nicely this old furniture cleans up for someone who wants to restore an old set or change the stain color. With a little work, someone could take a beat-up old hardwood set they found for cheap on Ebay and put a Wingmaster-level finish on it.

How is that product rated for temperature, moisture, UV exposure, etc?

Very good It seals out all water it does add damage resistance to wood. My father was abit of a working man. He had done this coating to his m14 taker that he used during his job. It was abused and beaten but it still looks good to this day besides a few dints.

Also, this stuff is what is used to clear coat cars and its not the cheap stuff I had gotten it from a friend who has a custom shop.
