Overview
This stock stain is intended for restoring U.S. military stocks and matching existing finishes with more control over the final color. The alcohol-based formula penetrates and dries quickly, and it can be used on its own or blended with other colors to reach a closer match. Formula XIII is described as a light brown with a red tone, making it suited to repair work where a subtle, period-appropriate appearance matters. It comes in a 4 fl. oz. plastic bottle from Air Art Aviation.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Designed for restoring U.S. military stocks, so it is a specialized finish rather than a general-purpose wood stain.
- Formula XIII is described as a light brown with a red tone, which may not suit projects that call for a darker or more neutral brown.
- The product is alcohol-based and dries quickly, so application may require careful handling to avoid over-application or uneven color.
- Sold as a 4 fl. oz. bottle, so larger restoration jobs may require multiple bottles depending on the amount of coverage needed.
