<p>You got any of that gray wet/dry sandpaper? Flip it over and use the paper side like you would the paper bag. The poor man's micro-fine sandpaper.</p>

<p>So having used the Danish Oil on my latest build (though I need to read the can and see, apparently, what it REALLY is...) I have to say that I like how it dries faster, but the finish isn't as nice as the Tung Oil.</p>
<p>Also - is it usual that it has a kind of...fishy...smell?</p>

<p>Hi Stew, yes true oil gives a nice finish, I use it on electric guitar necks to give a smooth soft feel to the neck, after removing the lacquer if refinishing on a customers guitar. </p>
<p>I was going to mention that I feel it is too expensive to do a whole instrument, compared to my Danish wax, the last one I bought was $15.00 for 3 f/oz from a gun shop. I just checked again and find that it is now available from guitar luthiers suppliers at $30.00 for 3 f/oz. </p>

Tru oil. It is a mix of tung and linseed oil. Apply with fingers 3 coats 3 hours apart. Scuff with 000 steel wool and run fridge magnet over it to remove any steel wool dust. Do another 3 coats and scuff again then do 1 light coat and leave over night.<br />
Get tru oil from gun shop as it is used for oiling gun sticks.<br />
I used it on 25 plus builds and love it.<br />
You can do more coats if you need to fill the grain.
