A while back I asked a question about cerakote and a side note was made that "Cerakote could even be applied to wood." I'd like to hear an expansion on that comment/thought and would like to know if Cerakote on wood would completely seal the stock?

Check with Eddie, he seems to be very familiar with Cerekote applications. He is also a member on campfire. www.fosnaughcustoms.com

Cool... In all honesty, I think Eddie was the gent who spoke up about wood and cerakote. Maybe he'll see this and join in...

Cerakote can be used on wood stocks and would do a good job of sealing the stock.
With that being said, if you were going to have a wood stock painted a single solid color in cerakote, the stock would have to be prepped very good to come out looking nice. Cerakote goes on very thin and will show pin holes, rough sanding marks and other imperfections rather easily.
If you are going to add spider webbing of a different color over the base color you can get away with a lot more. The webbing tends to hide imperfections that you would see otherwise. Hope this helps...

Eddie
What would be the best prep process?
Grain filler followed by sanding sealer and sanding?

![[Linked Image]](http://i464.photobucket.com/albums/rr10/mauserkid/Hunting2009JordanMontana037.jpg) Here is a wood stock I cerakoted. As stated by others, it seals the wood.

Would it be "Best" to paint the stock first with a good primer and then Cerakote?

Eddie will do you a good job.

Primer is not a bad idea. Regardless, I would still sand down with 320 to give some tooth for the cerakote to adhere to. Here is my tikka t3 lite synthetic stock that I painted a few weeks ago before deer hunting. For prep I masked off everything that I didn't want painted (bedding, etc.) then I put her in the sandblaster and lightly blasted the stock. All the paint is cerakote. ![[Linked Image]](http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o78/eddief02/243winny2.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o78/eddief02/243winny.jpg)

Blast from the past post!
Eddie - can you add texture to a uncheckered wood stock before you cerakote it?
Thanks, Dinny
