Grip care

Ray,

I assume that the grips are clean and not full of oil. If they do need cleaning, take a look in the General Information Section at Ted's article on how to clean the grips. Once clean, I only use Boiled Linseed Oil on them. A very light coating put on with a soft toothbrush and then let them dry overnight. If another application is needed, do the same thing. For grips that are clean and have not had any treatment in 50 years +, this light coat of BLO will make them look great, just don't put too much as it will "clog" the checkering.

Hugh is an expert on wood grips and he may be able to provide more info.
