No doubt everyone here already knows the trick, but I would appreciate a little refinement in my education on this subject.
This much I already know about the high glass finishes Remington uses:
1) Secret DuPont formula
2) Difficult to repair
3) Tough and durable
Specifics: I have a new 700 BDL that got dropped at the range onto a concrete floor. It scratched the finish down to the walnut in 4 different spots, none of which are more than an inch in diameter.
I have read that one could feather sand the damage with 400 grit, re-coat with gloss polyurethane and be on your way. The problem is that this method means you end up with high and low spots. Wet sanding with 1500 will flatten everything, but you are left with a dulled finish.
What is everyone's experience with this? Is it possible to effect a repair?
