Hi folks
I'm thinking of staining the timber on my shotty. It's nothing flash, Akkar Churchill U/O.
Can I just stain over the top of what's there? Or is there more to it?

The basics of it are that your stock will be coated now, and you will need to remove that finish to get back to the bare timber. Stain is applied to the bare timber, and then a new finish applied over the top.
