JC, I use a tooth brush, but often the original strength oil is hard as heck to clear out when using something like true oil unless it is cut back in strength. My wife notices that I have been using here tooth brush if I don't thin it out a bit.

I use London oil type finishes these days, and shy away from the True Oil. Nothing wrong with it, I just prefer the London type finish. I am working up that recipe you posted as I want to give that a try on my next stock.
