    Thank you for your inquiry.
    Tru-oil is not compatible with other oily products.
    Acetone has oil in it. If you use it on top of the Tru-Oil, and then try to layer Tru-Oil on it, it will not dry.

    Hope that helps.

    Thank you ,

    This is not the answer I was expecting. Does anyone have any practical experience of doing their own binding using acetone and tru oiling over the top? I can’t imagine what you can use to clear coat over binding if this is correct.

    That's rubbish. 'Acetone' sold for nail varnish removal normally has oil in it, but pure acetone doesn't. So just use pure acetone, easily available on eBay. It's volatile, so evaporates quickly at room temperature. Give it a day and it will all have evaporated. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetone

    Thanks Simon. Acetone evaporates in seconds. I couldn’t understand what the guy was talking about.

    Glad you agree wazkelly.
    I couldn’t resist a mock build tonight. Probably should of done it when it first arrived but I would of been none the wiser as to all the bits and pieces. I did see some white scratch plates against black arch tops in some images, but I’m pretty sure I want to go dark.

    Some light reading while the finish dries?

    When did you stop playing bass and take up the guitar?
