Thanks McCreed
The Tru oil is on the truck and Pitbull are sending replacement parts due to the hardware not alighing with the predrilled holes which is fantastic
I am looking for a step by step process to apply tru oil to get glossy front and satin back - there are a lot of different approaches between 4 and up to 30+ coats. I could not find a thread that lists the best steps so how does this sound:
- Check for glue by using a damp rag then clean glue off using goo off and light sanding - at this stage it appears only to be on the sides and not the front.
- Grain fill with timber mate on sides and back
- Sand back and sides starting at 220, 400, 600. Repeat grain fill and sand if required
- Stain sides and back
- Sand front with 400 ensuring not to break through spalt top
- Tru Oil - Apply five or six coats of the Tru Oil working in small circles front, back and sides.
- Sand with 600 grit every 4 coats up to 20 coats ( approx 3 per day)
- Cure for about 2 weeks
- Polish front and if required (ie I want a flatter finish) apply satin varnish to rear.
Appreciate your input
Thanks
