Help! First time cleaning my OCL Ti 22. This gunk remains after 24 hours in Breakthrough, 12 hours in simple green and brass wire brushing after each soaking.
Can I take a pick to it or is whatever fine scratching it may leave a bad thing?
Do ultrasonic cleaners remove this hardened carbon and lead more than the soaking and brushing?
I'm using Osmo Poly-x on new redwood for interior trim. Doing everything right sanding and most is coming out beautifully. Just a few board are splotchy. (of course the most important ones!)
In the past i have used wood conditioner under stain but never under a clear coat, and this is my first time using an oil wax like Osmo.
Is a coat of wood conditioner before the Osmo a good idea? Will it change the coloring? Any good product recommendation?

I am considering using Waterlox for the first time on new interior redwood moldings and trim. I want to end up with a tung oil look, matte or satin finish.
I see in their guide page that one of the listed 3 products must be used as a first coat. Are any of these 3 good to use as a one coat process?
If i do need to add 2 coats of their satin finish over all of these, is one of them better to use?
Thanks!
I'm using redwood for lots of interior trim. Windowsills, window jambs and casing, baseboards and misc trim details.
I will experiment with different products and am hoping to get good suggestions here.
I want to have more of an matte oil finish look, as opposed to gloss.
I want to have the color and grain show as close to natural as possible. And to not fade out or darken any more than possible.
Not concerned too much with waterproof and durability issues other than window-sills.
I am seeing advice on using a matte finish polyurethane sealer, or a hard wax oil. Products I am seeing i should consider are Waterlox, Osmo... and each have a variety of products.
I'm open to any experience out there... like i said, I am planning to experiment with different products.

Putting 1.75" thick pavers on a raised woodstove hearth over cement board (over double layer solid ply and framing) New construction. Around 50 sq feet.
Is a 3/4" bed of mortar enough, and what is the best dry mortar to use for this? Is there a Quickcrete product suitable?
All wisdom and experience appreciated!
New Ruger American gen 2 .308 with the same sticky and clunky bolt issues a lot of owners complaining about. I asked Ruger (through their website customer service) if they had suggestions or replacement parts. The response i received was sort of form letter-like, saying to send the rifle back for inspection.
Anyone done this and can say if it was fixed? And how long it took to get back?
I have scored a bunch of beautiful old 3/4" mahogany boards. What I can end up with after ripping off sections with screw holes (was on a 25 year old deck) is 3" wide long pieces. I have seen countertops made from 5/4" material. Can I run them through a benchtop jointer and then use a biscuit jointer, and glue up as I would a 5/4" material?
To use as a countertop should i then put it on plywood or use as is?
Counters would be approximately 25" x 100", 25"x 72" and an island top 38" x 80"
I went to CF Moto's site and they have all other years but not 2021 U Force 800. Anyone know where to find, in either pdf or hard copy?
Looking for full service manual, not owner's manual
New in the last year Mark 4 22/45. Tried multiple brands and loads of ammo and can't believe how dirty it gets, having to clean it every couple hundred rounds.
Any advice?
And i now have an Otter creek ti suppressor and wonder how many rounds are you getting before cleaning that?
Bought 32" AGT sawmill, which i understand is the MechMaxx SM32. Don't know how many blades come with it, and I have heard they're not the best. With every kind of blade in every kind of tool i have ever used, some are just better than others.
Anyone had success with any that are particularly better? I'll be cutting almost exclusively pine /fir /spruce.
Thanks!
I inherited a barely used 1100 LT 20 gauge. I know it was just used for skeet and the barrel notes *Target*. 2 3/4" Does this mean anything about what I can shoot in it?
It has a skeet choke in it, am thinking i should put a modifed in it. I want to shoot #4 - #6 possibly for turkey.
And can i shoot #3 copper plated Winchester Defender in it?
New rifle, first 308. I will use for elk hunting at 250 yards or less. I have a chance at a discontinued new Leopold Freedom 4-12 40 scope, Creedmor.
Around the same price as Vortex diamonback or Altlon NEOS in same magnification.
Opinion?
None of these have parallax adjustment - should I care shooting at these distances?
Soon to pick up my first .308, a Ruger American Gen 2.
What's a good practice ammo? And is any particular grain / load necessary to break it in? (I'm thinking of that being the case with my 9mm handguns)
And for elk hunting, good recommendations? I'll likely be initially shooting 200 yards or less.
Thanks!
A friend and a couple reviews call out difficult / stuck-acting bolt actions with the Prairie model in particular. And maybe the Ranch.
I'm considering between these two. Appreciate feedback.
Bought an expensive kitchen from IKEA. Design process was pretty good and getting service for follow-up has been terrible.
Parts from the design that never made it on the order and then getting someone to help order, getting anyone on the phone, etc.
Intention here not merely to complain but has anyone discovered some way to get help besides waiting on the phone or online for hours?
