Waz....yeah I was surprised too. I had done 9 coats of poly and 6 coats of tru oil respectively.
Today after a restain where needed.... done yesterday....and the required sand to 240 grit.....first soak coat of Tru Oil reapplied.....wiped as much into it in the bare places and then wiped any excess off. Final strokes with the grain. I am liking the shine at the first coat.
