Gently warmed all over to ouch temperature and the multi purpose semi-natural lube sealer melts. More is applied with a patch and scrubbed in all over.
Leave it on thick and glossy and let it cool.
Once cooled, rub it out and reassemble.
From here out the exterior finish on this one gets no more complex attention than given the finish of any muzzleloader. A light wipe down with a water based solvent as needed and a touch of any good muzzleloading bore lube/preservative. In my case, Bore Butter since its not necessary to warm the metal for regular maintenance. Any more rust that crops up goes unnoticed since its brown, naturally, the guts will be cleaned and lightly oiled as with any good firearm. But this finish couldn't be easier to apply, maintain and will look even better with age and use.
