rradams Posted September 12, 2004 Report Share Posted September 12, 2004 Hi there, I just finished the neck I am using on an SG I am building for a gift. I bound it thinking that I would finish it in lacquer but have decided to go with Tru-oil. Do I need to tape off the binding and leave it clear or will the Tru-oil set up over the binding. Thanks in advance for the help. Rubin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dugz Ink Posted September 12, 2004 Report Share Posted September 12, 2004 Tru-Oil will soak into the wood, but not the binding. So, if you wipe on 5 coats of Tru-Oil, you'll have 5 shiny coats on top of the binding but only a semi-dull look on the fretboard. I would wipe it on the fretboard, then wipe it off the binding within 10 minutes. Since the first several coats of Tru-Oil will soak in, it's not going to make a mess like... say... trying to wipe lacquer off of the binding without wiping it off of the fretboard. (I hope that analogy makes sense to everybody.) D~s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
