Thanks McCreed, very useful information! I figured i could but wanted to check.

Good point around the P240 grit as well, something i hadn't given thought too.

One of the reasons for using the lacquer was to get the non-amber tint over time. I did another kit completely in TruOil and it came up really nice, but the more i look at it the more i wish it didn't have the slight tint (especially knowing its going to get even more so over time).

I agree with sticking to one of the other, the only reason i've considered the TruOil on the back of the neck is that i really like the feel from a playability perspective. I like that it is really slippery! The back of my LP is tacky after years of playing :-(
