Hey Mat, did you speak to me? I was there last year & I spoke to nearly everyone there.....

Nice Dave!! I've done a couple of necks with Tru-Oil over Zpoxy and like it. How many coats did you use and how did you rub it out?
Thanks
Terry

Terry,

Thanks. I tend to build up the Tru-oil coats as I go - play it a while and then see if I need more. This one currently has four very thin coats on - I use the Tru-oil from a spray can and spray it into a folded piece of kitchen towel and then rub it on. I rub it out with my hands mostly and maybe a little go over with 0000 wire wool. The headstock and backstrap venners I sprayed with nitro.
