I just used Tru-Oil http://birchwoodcasey.scaleslive.co...roductID=b0628cbd-5cd3-48c0-8d42-5b1b8a3f180e for the first time on a Ukulele project and really liked it. Anybody else using it? It's marketed to Gun stock refinishers and works like BLO but leaves a finish more like a varnish. The cool thing is using coffee filters to apply it. They spread it evenly and don't hang or catch on it as it dries leaving a smooth burnished surface.

I was able to get 3-4 coats per day bringing it inside to cure in a heated area between coats. This guy is able to get 24-36 coats per day spraying/wiping with Armor-All between coats! Now I know all about the MANY HAZARDS OF ARMOR-ALL AND ITS SILICONE ASSOCIATED WITH FINISHING AND DON"T RECOMMEND BRINGING IT WITHIN A MILE OF YOUR HOUSE (so please nobody jump off a bridge:gar-Bi...if you don't know what I'm talking about research Fisheye Finishing Problems with Silicone) but these guys are claiming it acts as a hardening catalyst and allows flash finishing with Tru-Oil. Any ideas on how or why this happens? Plasticizers in Armor-All reacting with the oils ?
