Thanks Robbie, your video makes me think I should try it at least ! :D What about shelf life? I couldn't locate any seller of Tru Oil in my country so I'll have to import it which makes small quantities very unattractive. :? someone posted this link above. http://westernfirearms.com.au/cleaning-gun...

Why would you want to use it over tung oil?

Thanks everyone. Actually, Tru oil is one of the cheapest and easiest finishes to apply. If using any oil on an acoustic instrument I first like to seal everything with a coat of shellac.

I was wo...
