    The body is looking great.

    "Just a question, for the final coat on the body, I have enough truoil to put on the body and also have the final coat from dingotone. In your experience is the dingotone final coat enough or do you add another layer of true oil over it? Just been reading some other posts about truoil over dingotone, but wanted to get some opinions,"

    Dingotone final coat should be enough! When I used it for my FVB-4 the first coat took a number of weeks to cure (but it was the middle of winter in Perth). So after the one coat I then applied lots of coats of tru-oil.

    Hey Trevor, thanks…did you mean, just apply 1 coat of dingotone final coat, and once cured add truoil?

    No sorry. If you are using Dingotone final coats, use it as per the instructions (ie 2 or 3 thin coats). If you are not happy with look after that then consider adding some coats of tru-oil.

    I only added 1 coat as it was taking way longer than 24 hours to cure!

    Cool, thanks Trevor. Will do that and see how the final coat looks.
