Hey Nitro the tru oil dries pretty hard. You can always apply about 5 coats and then maybe scuff sand it to remove a bit of gloss if you are after a satin look. Main thing is give each coat at least 3 days curing. Where do you live ? being winter curing times are much longer.

10 and 15 lt/100km is pretty good. A lumpy cam will blow out that figure much higher

Ok, that sounds exactly what im looking for, so tru oil it is. I live in Mount Gambier, south east of south australia, temps around 12-15 during the day at the mo, 2-8 overnight. So do i order it from this site? How far does it go? 100 ml, 250 ml?

Hi Nitro, if you are only doing the neck then a 3 ounce (90ml) bottle will be heaps, order from the PBG shop

if you get the 240ml bottle there's a chance it will go off before you finish it off, especially in the hotter months

Ok, thanks heaps for your help.

no worries Nitro, that's what the forum is here to help !

Best apply more thin coats of TO plus it will cure quicker and hopefully you will have less wet sanding at the end as it should be flatter

That sounds like good advice. Just followed the link, it said free shipping anywhere in aussie then proceeded to charge me 8 bucks for shipping. Go figure...

Hey Nitro, don't proceed with the sale, think there's a minimum charge of $24.95 for free shipping, the TO is $19.95 so order something small like copper shielding or maybe a pot or jack to take it above $25

bwhahah classic Franken, what do you drive a 5 litre FPV Falcon ?

Yeah 335 S/charged GT, 6Spd Manual. Can be a pain in Sydney traffic but I also do a lot of country driving so it gets a good blowout once or twice a month. @nitro, for what its worth I only flicked my traction control off the once, buried my foot and remembered that I am neither Juha Kankonnen, Ken Block or the Stig. Thankfully no harm done and the traction control button gets left alone now.

The TO also serves as your entry pass to the Naughty Warehouse. Welcome, there may be room in the back someplace. Wokka will pour you a beer.

I'm really intrigued to see how the coloured neck turns out under the TO. I was considering doing something similar to the FrankenWashie but the Maple in the neck came up so smooth and clean that I just couldn't do it. It's an idea that I might apply to the SV-1 that I have yet to start on though, will watch with interest.

@DB, I pledge that I will not, and have never used TO and if I was present when it was used I did not inhale.
