Hi Capt black... Oooppps! Almost forgot, first, you need to strip with lacquer thinner and sand to perfection with 220 or 320... You want to put on the Tru-Oil with very light coats, with a lot of wiping, rubbing down, etc.. to heat the finish and cause it to blend with previous coats..Some use old nylon stockings.. many of the high end satin finishes are Tru-Oil applied WITH 0000 steel wool or 400 wet or dry...rub til it tacks... stop and wait... repeat... as many times as necessary... Tru oil does not hide blems! You get back exactly what you put in... A good rule of thumb is to apply it lightly and then try to rub it all back off... it tacks pretty quick... Good luck, best to you, til...lat'r...GT....
