Nothing about wood prep. Years ago Addam Stark told me to basically polish the wood before application and I remember an article in the old LMI catalog saying the same. I usually sand to 600G and even polish further with micro mesh. It’s a good finish for necks. |

I contacted TruOil and there was a limit to how much dye I could put in the TruOil so the best I could get that way was pink! I ended up putting the dye in shellac and spraying that on then finished with the TruOil.

Ken Parker finished his archtops with Tru-oil. The entire guitar, not just the neck. He first pore-filled with epoxy. You can watch him do it on his youtube channel Greg |

Quote: Nothing about wood prep. The mailbag question was about TruOil, NOT wood prep. I like Rob, but he should NOT be using steel wool. Scotchbrite is the way to go. |
