Mood: what?

tru-oil


following on from the french polish thread, i'd like to know if tru-oil contains something beneficial which other oils do not. i suppose i could order a container of the stuff from the states but importing it into italy would be playing customs duties roulette ... sometimes it really hurts. there's a huntin'/fishin' type place up in the village that stocks an oil used for the maintenance of gun stocks (plus other uses) but i don't know if it's similar to tru-oil.

a year or so ago i put an undiluted coat of acrylic vinyl based varnish on the bowl of my egyptian oud and while it feels just fabulous to the touch, i've been wondering if i might have deadened its sound somewhat ...

... news and views; shaking of head, tut-tutting and wagging of finger all welcome.
