Pure Tung Oil before Bedding?

[kohler]

Will pure tung oil interfere with future bedding adhesion?

The SSS stock won't see the action for a couple months during which time I could start applying tung oil. In the barrel channel and action inlet area is there a number of coats where it is considered sealed enough?

I always use a dremel tool to make pockets and grooves in the action area to provide better adhesion of the bedding material. If you do this you shouldn't have a problem.

Thanks for the confidence boost.

If anyone is looking for non polymerized tung oil, Lee Valley Tools and Hardware might be worth a call.
