I forgot to add the green pad was slightly worn and kept it wet with rubbing alcohol.

Well, here she is; I'm very pleased with the results. Just the right amount of sheen and color I was going for, plus has almost a slight patina to it in certain light. Again, if you look close in bright light you do see some slight streaks and blotchiness, but this is me just being picky . I believe this is four coats, boiled after each carding. The ramrod thimbles ( from a CVA Mountain rifle) are brass and anodized black so they don't match 100%. May turn some down on a lathe from steel to match barrel. Now to start working on the stock. Carry on.

Thanks for posting. Working on my first Hawkins kit and read good results about LMF so got some to do mine. Looks exactly like what I want.
