Tru-Oil is for those who haven't learned that there are a lot of better products on the market. It is old technology.
Having said that, you CAN improve on Tru-Oil by using it in a three part mix of T.O., boiled linseed, and mineral spirits, along with a few drops of either Japan dryer or Cobalt dryer.
Apply this mixture, rub in thoroughly, then wipe off almost all of it. Repeat until you get what you want. You can sand between coats with 400 grit wet-or-dry paper to fill the pores at the outset.
I like Pilkington's and Chem-Pak Pro Custom oil much better.
