There's a hardware store located in the building next to Isetan Scotts where they have all the items you listed. If my memory serves me right, the hardware store is located at the 3rd storey.

danish oil? may consider, bro edder. Smell is no problem to me. anyway I gonna let body dry overnight before application of 2nd and subsequent coats.

No pain - no gain.

Its time to get sweaty and dirty again..... :x

tung oil gives you a kind of darkened 'staining' right? how often do you oil your fretboards?

 

[edder]

ripper, don't get too overzealous with the oil.

A few thin coats is better than one THICK coat. Its damn satisfying to see the wood soaking up ALL the oil... but really... one thin coat first. Let it dry, polymerize. Light sanding then apply some more.

Apply just nice to beautify and know when to stop. You don't want too much oil inside the wood and it'll take ages for it to degas. And I HEARD that too much oil soaked inside the wood will deaden the sound.

Damn... just realised I was using too much plastic processing terms.

Polymerize = Hardens
Degas = Volatile chemicals from the oil exiting the body. (SMELL!)

Anyone for Tru Oil?

I just purchased some bottles for my guitar.

 

[edder]

Tru oil? where did you get it?

 

[ShredCow]

overseas. :lol: Was advised that none was available locally.

Ordered 4 bottles...

 

[edder]

wah power. wanted to find em locally last time but couldn't get.

they actually ship the oil over? amazing. normally stuff like this they won't deliver.

 

[ShredCow]

I guess. You have to go with... them single manned businesses.

Ebay man.

If you want the guy's contact, let me know... but with shipping and all, the 90ml bottle of Tru Oil costs like 15 bucks.
