Good video, i'll have to try this method. I found using the supplied cloth and just putting a few drops on at a time did a pretty decent job of my stock. I tried the finger method and like you say its very hard to get it even.
You should try ArmourAll as a catalyst. Once you get about 5-6 coats and sand in between to get the pores filled and the stock smooth it only takes a few minutes to get your final shiny coat. At that point you can put on as many coats as you want. The trick is to get the pores filled and the stick nice and smooth before your final coat. You can do about 5-6 coats daily with this method and its dry to the touch once done. No drying time.
Great video, just put a small hole in the foil cap cover instead of removing it. Then you wont get so much dried up bits around the bottle top. Good luck
Thank you for the excellent video. I am currently in the middle of my project using your tutorial with great results. I am using beech and I have a super glossy finish, but, I wish it was a darker color. Can I sand the top later, add an oil-based stain, then continue with my Truoil?
Bottle says to wait 2 hours between coats. My experience is that 2 hours is the minimum if you live in a hot and dry climate. If you live somewhere humid, give it 24 hours between coats. And after you're done coating it, give it upwards of a week to cure. Maybe less if you live in a hot and dry place.
@@shootingatdawn thank you. Does it matter water based or oil based? I want to add it to the walnut stain that came with the tru-oil kit to give a nice dark red cast. My replacement walnut grips are very light color with little grain, certainly not heartwood. It needs some character.
I'm completely convinced this product is for those who really don't know what a perfect finish is. It's basically a varnish that is impossible to get streak free.
