I have a Hoo1T and want to get a glossier look to the stock. I used some ScratchX polish with decent results but want to get it even glossier. I know I can with a clear gloss paint but I don't know which would be best, acrylic or enamel. I guess acrylic would be less likely to attack the finish. Just wondering if anyone else has top coated their stock.

Well, if the original finish is a poly, then I see no reason not to just apply gloss coat of poly on top of that. There is no way I am going to strip the finish off the wood as that is just too much effort and nasty, caustic chemicals. I can always test whatever spray coating I get on another stock to be sure it doesn't attack the finish of this stock. I have several that Henry sent me when I was try to get some fancy wood.

Roughing it up with the synthetic steel wool and cleaning with spirits is good advice. As I have no heat gun, that step is not an option for me.
