I forgot to share that I had sprayed the front of the headstock with mtn94 black around the time I added the tru-oil. Both the paint and the Tru-oil have had time to gas-off.
Today I have sprayed on 4 coats of Cabots water-based gloss poly.
I will leave it for about a week, then add a brown burst around the front, and add more clear coats.
