Linseed oil perfectedApr 07, 2009
By The Lakotan
"Old Africa Hand"
While designed for finishing gun stocks, Tru-Oil is a perfect complement to any wood surface. I use it to refinish table tops and cabinets which have been scratched, marred or simply grown dull from exposure to sunlight. It is easy to apply and dries quickly (about two hours). It dries to a high gloss, but can easily be reduced to a satin finish by light buffing with XXXX grade steel wool. You do not have to remove the old finish (except for wax polish); it can be applied right over lacquer or varnish.

Great product, cannot go wrong here.Oct 14, 2007
By M. Nelson
I just refinished my 12 year old Ruger 10/22 with Tru-Oil and the finish is excellent, better in fact than the factory finish. 5 years ago I noticed the finish wearing down in spots and some ding marks here and there. I thought that refinishing the stock the way it was would be too hard so I spray painted it a flat black, bad move. Everytime I would take down the gun and clean it some of the solvents I used would always somehow get on the stock which made the paint tacky again for a long time. So I finally said, it's either buy a new stock or refinish it the right way. So I sanded off the paint with a palm sander starting with medium grit paper, then once I got to the wood I switched to a fine paper. I then got the stock wet in the shower and once it dried I hand sanded it again with a fine paper going with the grain. I then used Birchwood Casey's walnut stain on it, full strength and then let that dry overnight. I then started with the Tru-Oil, applying it with a cotton ball all over then rubbing it down with a paper towel to make sure it was even. The first coat of the Tru-Oil was really light. I let that dry for 3 hours then I put another thicker coat of Tru-Oil on and let that dry another 3 hours. Then I took some steel wool and rubbed down the stock lightly until it was smooth but dull. The last application of Tru-Oil was a little thinner than the 2nd and I let that dry for another 3 hours then I went over it with a scotch brite pad lightly. I'm really pleased with the Tru-Oil, it surely surpassed by expectations and it was really easy to use. The smell before it dries is a little sick, but goes away.

Tru-oil, a truly great finish!Jan 10, 2011
By DS
I don't know how I ever got along without this product. I use it for finishing new un finished and used sanded guitar bodies with awesome results. It adds just a hint of amber coloration to bare Alder bodies without loading up and hiding the grain. It is softer than urathane but holds up well under pressure, and just like poly, scratches will occour, but not to worry, with a quick wipe of a little Tru-oil on a fresh rag and a once over with a 3m 1500grt pad for some shine, its just like new. The guitar still retains that brilliant unfinised woody strat tone too, unlike a body that has been covered in 20 coats of plastic and paint. Doesn't seem to fade at all and provides an awesome matte finish straight outta the bottle. It can be polished but will never look like a clear coat. Thats just fine with me, I don't care for that on my axes, they have a rough life. I can beat em up all I want and the fix is sitting on a shelf in my office in a little brown bottle.

Great choice for musical instrumentsNov 07, 2011
By wyliecritr
I used this finish for a ukulele kit I built. It was easy to apply and it didn't stain my hands. I like that it allowed the woods natural finish to shine through without shifting the color to much. I strongly suggest this if you want some protection, but don't want a significant color shift.

Excellent FinishFeb 21, 2011
By Andy Vandergriff
I bought Tru-Oil to refinish my 1965 Gretsch Corvette that I had bought with an unoriginal finish (rattlecan-black), but had taken down only part of all the finish to where I liked the look of both the remaining paint, the original cherry finish, and the bare mahogany of the body underneath. As I researched different oil based finishes, it became apparent that in order to do with my finish what I intended, Tru-Oil was going to be the only product that would work for my purposes. I applied a total of 11 coats over about 3-4 days, let it cure for 2 weeks (granted, this is a rather time intensive process), and the result was exactly what I wanted: a durable, clear finish that wasn't too glossy, yet played well with the previous finishes (going over top of rather than cutting underneath), and darkened the mahogany to an ideal shade. It's a great product, and worked very well with what I needed it to do. One note, however. If you only need this for one similarly sized project, you really don't need the 8oz size. I think I maybe used in the realm of 1.5-2oz in the midst of the process.
