I've bought an unfinished Boyd's Tacticool and plan to duracoat it with shake'n'spray kit. My question is: do I have to duracoat inside of the stock like bedding and barrel areas or leave them bare wood?
So I have three options: leave them barewood, duracoat lightly with one layer, duracoat properly like outside of the stock with 3+ layers.
Thank you very much.

After ensuring that the rifle fits the stock properly, I would seal the entire stock with a polyuerathane spray. Then Duracoat the outside of the stock. I don't see any reason to spray the barrel channel or where the action rests.

Perhaps Bumper will chime in. His 77/22 WMR stock I carved from black walnut and he then duracoated it.I also believe he went over the Duracoat with TruOil as well.
