Only time I use Tru-Oil is to coat metal, and have had my best luck cutting it 1:1 or even 1:2 with simple paint thinner or mineral spirits. Seems to be too thick for such application otherwise. I apply it with a piece of clean cotton T-shirt wrapped tight over a finger-tip with good results. No runs no particles... and have even been able to recoat without stripping for the most part.
