    Minwax Oil Stain Mixed or Slurry?

    I'm wondering why Minwax oil stain can't be mixed with other oil finishes. Does anyone know? It will not dry? What if I add Japan Dryer? Also, I've read that oil finishes can be sanded while still wet to create a slurry that fills pores. Couldn't the same be done with the Minwax oil stain?

    Can the damage caused by lemoned oil be repaired?

    This is more of a quick question rather than a discussion starter, but it could turn into one. A friend of mine told me that he used too much lemon oil on his P bass rosewood fretboard and it has suffered permanent damage. He says that it now looks cheap, dry and a bit corroded. I asked him how...

    applying lemon oil to sanded neck

    Had my Bass tech recently sand the back of my Fender Jazz neck. The neck plays amazing but I forgot to ask him how often I should apply lemon oil to the back of the neck. How often do you guys do it and any brand recommendation.

    Oil finish on a maple/maple neck

    Hey everyone, I have an early Squier JV P-bass neck that I've had for years. When I got it, it had an awful lacquer refin that was nuclear orange. I sanded off the finish on the back of the neck and played it that way for a few years while it was on my jazz bass. At some point my jazz bass got...

    Oil Finish to Thin Poly Finish

    Hi All, I have a bass that I absolutely love. The previous owner had stripped the poly off and finished in in Danish Oil for the body - it feels great, but I am worried that long term it isnt as durable, so I wanted to put a thin poly finish on it. Also for the matching koa headstock it seemed...

    Greetings, all! I have a neck that has a gloss poly finish all over (with a maple board). I want to strip the back of it and refinish it with Tru-Oil. I also want to get rid of the headstock decal and put my own on. It appears that the original is cleared over. So, I reckon I need to strip the...

    Thumb Wear on a Oil / Wax Finish

    My right hand thumb has the texture of a mill file and, with time & use, can easily erode the top surface of any oil-finished bass. To complicate matters, I'm now dealing with "trigger thumb" and have to stay splinted 24 / 7...I'm taping, it's not really a splint. I have a couple of ideas but...
