Removing Blotchy Stain From Wood Grain

[Ronno6]

The dreaded blotches have emerged while attempting to refinish a Daisy 822 forearm.
Stripper doesn't remove them.
Acetone, Lacquer thinner, turpentine, etc, etc, dunna work, neither.
Currently under a towel and soaking with peroxode........

Any guidance??

ps....anybody recognize the wood species??

Careful with soaking. I cracked a couple of Sheridan forearms trying to remove the old finish with acetone. The wood was perfect and I just got it to wet with the acetone.

I'm nor really soaking per se.......I have a rag wetted with HP laying on the wood.

It looks like beech wood. Beech is notorious for blotching when stained. I stained the beech stock on my Diana RWS 45 with walnut stain and it blotched so bad it looked like a camouflage finish. I tried every solvent you can think of but could not remove the blotched stain. I even tried bleaching with oxalyc acid. Sanding to remove the stain worked the best but I never got the wood back to normal looking grain. The stock was eventually painted with black truck bed liner. I'd rather have a nice looking wood stock but I like the way the bed liner paint looks and feels.

I had thought it to be beech as well.
I believe I have beech in the shop.
I may just make a new one.

Both Daisy and Crosman just apply a tinted finish over the raw or sealed wood.
The color lays on the surface and doesn't sink in until you try to strip it..........
Rather ironic........

 I was having a thought that years of greasy pell gun oil hands had something to do with the blotches
