First of all, Tru-oil is a very nice finish. It hardens a bit more than french polished shelllack, its very beautifull IMO,but it takes time, easily 1 month. Make a nice porefilled shellack preparation, finished down to 2400 micromesh, and then very thin layers once a day, with dry 1800 and 2400 micromesh in between. Some many coats, let dry as much as possible, at least 3 days, and then wet polihing with micomesh with a VERY light touch until 12000. You know humidity, always best around 50, temperature doesn´t matter if humidity is OK. I know it´s easy to say, but that´s the way it is. good luck, and where are you in the process? Anders
