Cheers Simon. I’ll have a shot at the binding with the cabinet scraper I have, once I’ve bought a decent file to reset the edge on it.

Does Truoil bind to the binding ok, or just wipe off?

This long weekends plan is to do the initial fit and check, and maybe a little sanding on the back. Might conduct an application test of the Tru oil on some scrap wood to get the vibe of the process going
