Tru Oil Finish

[Bakersdozen]

Never tried Gum Turps on anything so cannot comment. Probably works the same as mineral turps to dilute it down which helps spreading it with a rag a bit better as when local temps start getting up there in the 30's together with higher humidity Tru Oil has a tendency to feel very sticky & tacky when being applied thus making a smooth layer just a little bit more difficult. Adding just a few drops initially may be the better way to go as 50:50 ratio ends up very watery and increases the risk of runs.

Beaut, thanks mate!

You know the other day I was using mineral turps and had the bottle in my left hand and a coffee in my right and was listing to mustic and thinking about the top on my guitar.

Took a swig from the wrong hand. Luckily I instantly spat it out as soon as it hit my tongue.

I survived. it was a bit tongue burney.

What a goose.

Igor recommends a dash of lemon and some sugar with your turps. Makes it less bitey he says.
