Hope this helps,

The only problem with TruOil, and I’ve used plenty of it over the years, is that it gets tacky quickly with a very short “working time”, and thinning with turpentine or mineral spirits doesn’t change that. I haven’t used it in a long time, but when I did I added a little blo to slow it down. Worked pretty good, but since I discovered Timberluxe, it’s all I use these days.
