Just skip the initial coat of plain Linseed oil.
That takes quite a while to dry.,,if ever.
TruOil is just a Linseed Oil based Varnish anyway. It has driers in it along with
(Likely) synthetic resins that make it a varnish rather than just an oil. so it has something to fill the surface pores
Personally I've never liked the stuff as it never dried well. I gave up on it decades ago. Linspeed also.
But for some reason others have good luck with them.
The stuff I had only dried in the orig containers.
I'd wipe the surface down with mineral spirits , let it dry a week , bloc sand it with 800 or 1000 grit to even it back up. Then go back to building up the finish with what ever you think will dry.
