"GB"Lin-Speed is an oil finish for your gunstock and and any fine woodwork, like furniture, guitars, and even wooden tool handles.  Lin-Speed penetrates the pores of the wood and hardens, protecting the wood from within.  Lin-Speed is simple to use and is typically applied with the finger tips. Only a tiny bit is needed per coat.  Our convenient 2 ounce jar is typically enough for about 5 full stocks.  Store Lin-Speed tightly closed with the lid side down and it can last for years. 

     Lin-Speed is not like varnish or polyurethane as these types of finish are meant to be built up on the surface of the wood, where Lin-Speed works within the wood with virtually none on the surface.  Lin-Speed makes wood grain glow, enhancing the beauty of your cherished piece.  Lin-Speed is durable and abrasions are easily touched up with just a dab of Lin-Speed. 

 

Testimonial

In April of '09 Lin-Speed received a glowing testimonial by James Farrar of Houston.

He said:

     "I have used Lin-Speed for 55 year or more.  It is the best product going and a proper finish for high end custom stocks or for the old .22 in the closet.  The more coats the deeper the finish.  Two or three coats is a good level for the hand rubbed look.  8-10 coats will take it to the high gloss look of a Weatherby Mark V and such.  You can start with a stain if you prefer before applying the Lin-Speed.  I prefer three coats since at that level it still allows the pores of the wood to show and say, hey look I'm real wood.  It is easy to add additional coats later or to just repair scratches and scrapes.  Great product and the only one I use." 

 

 We want to thank James for his kind words and continued loyalty.

     "GB" Lin-Speed was invented back in the 1950's and its inventor, George Brothers, wrote the following passage about his outstanding product.

 

It has been said that a linseed oil finish has no substitute in producing a genuine oil finish. "GB" Lin-Speed is a laboratory perfection of linseed oil. "GB" Lin-Speed is not a concoction. It is in fact, linseed oil refined to the point that the oil acquires the admirable qualities of good body and rapid dry. Ordinary linseed oil never really dries. The "GB" Lin-Speed refinement process removes the non-drying linseed parts (called Foots).

     Properly applied, and there is nothing difficult about that, the final wood finish, which will be a genuine oil finish, will have no equal in imparting the desired results to a valued gunstock. "GB" Lin-Speed has the refractive index for best showing the changing pattern of grain and color. This completely transparent oil gives wood grain a desirable depth and precludes the need for a separate filler. No wonder that a "GB" Lin-Speed oil finish is so tough against wear and the elements. Just think how tough inlaid linoleum is. Such linoleum is made by the combining of suitable linseed oil with an aggregate, in a manner somewhat like the way concrete gains its strength from adding cement to an aggregate of gravel and sand, which reinforces the hardened result.

     With "GB" Lin-Speed oil finish, this fully drying linseed oil is added to the wood and it is the wood fiber itself that provides the aggregate to reinforce the hardened finish. That is why the oil finish must be in the wood itself, why it must not be sealed out of the wood by previously applied materials, and why the finish film should be limited in thickness out in the open above the surface of the finished wood. Any greater durability, even if it were available, would not be necessary. It has been observed many times that the properly applied "GB" Lin-Speed oil finish will enable the wood it protects to withstand bad weather even long after the metal parts of the same gun have rusted.

     The "GB" Lin-Speed oil finish is the only type of finish readily restored after very hard use. It can be freshened up in selected areas or over the entire stock by periodic applications in very limited amounts of just a drop or two evened out with the fingers where required.
The "GB" Lin-Speed oil finish has proved itself in all situations. Next time you look at your gun, ask yourself if it wouldn't look better with a genuine "GB" Lin-Speed oil finish."

 

     "GB" Lin-Speed is as excellent a product today as it was when invented because we use the same formula.  Our oil cannot be found at your local hardware store becaus it is a high end only sold in bulk.   Our oil has the consistency of honey before being mixed to create Lin-Speed.   Our customers quickly realize that we are totally committed to customer serivice and we always appreciate your business. Please tell your friends about our fine product and the excellent customer service we provide. Your satisfaction is our success. Thanks so much for choosing the one and only "GB" Lin-Speed.

Sincerely,

Bill & Ingrid
