Remove the tape, scrape the binding, then top coat with Tru-Oil, poly etc.Originally Posted by grahamjohnston80
Quick question??
When to scrape the binding? I masked the binding before staining and I intend to finish with a few coats of Tru-oil. Do I leave the masking on and apply the tru oil? OR Remove masking tape, scrape binding then apply tru-oil?
Same goes for the neck - I have applied a few coats of tru oil and now wondering if I should take the masking tape off for the subsequent coats?? I'm thinking that the tru oil over the binding may blend to a smoother finish
However be sure there's no adhesive residue left behind before you start your Tru-Oil. A tiny bit of naptha (shellite) on a bit of rag will safely remove it and not affect the binding.
