JohnDaBass Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 @Andyjr1515, @Bassassin, & @honza992, what sort of quantities of Tru Oil did you consume in achieving the finishes shown? I've just ordered a mahogany P body for a 51P build and I was planning to attempt to adopt your approach to the finish so do I buy the 3oz or 8oz size bottle of Birchwood Casey Tru-Oil for the project? I'm an avid fan of the projects you Guys have posted, they are a real joy to read & follow. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us mere mortals!!

Andyjr1515 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 For a slurry and buff, @JohnDaBass , I've never used more than a 3oz bottle. It should be plenty. If you were doing a full gloss build-up method (quite difficult) then it would use more, but the slurry and buffs I do usually take not much more that 1/2 a small bottle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honza992 Posted April 6, 2020 Author Share Posted April 6, 2020 Yes, smallest bottle is plenty. It's pointless buying more because it forms a skin and becomes unusable pretty quickly. I know some people recommend poking a small hole in the foil and storing it upside down, but my understanding is that tru oil hardens in contact with air, so I'd rather have guaranteed fresh oil every time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
