KNIFE MAKER
The sealer worked great. The tru-oil seemed to take a long time to dry. So then I bought some "Stock Sheen & conditioner" also from birchwood casey (Not for sale in California....gotta work good if it still has real chemicals!) On the directions it says if you are putting it on a fresh tru-oil finish wait "Upwards of 7 days to ensure a cured finish" before trying the conditioner. So there you have it. A tru-oil finish is not fully hard until after 7 days! No where on the Tru-Oil directions does it say that. Yet it sands a little gummy for me and I think I haven't been letting it dry enough.
As of right now I love the sealer/filler. Jury is out on the tru-oil.
