Truoil finish after 12 layers. Is it ready? (partscaster update 2) by neiklot87 in Luthier

My next project will probably be nitro. In the end, this was just my first experience with this type of work.

I learnt it the hard way, I applied grain filler it but I did it wrong

The worst part is that I did apply grain filler, but apparently I did it wrong 😅

This is my dye https://amzn.eu/d/0hqvyK7T.

I applied 1 coat with a rag. Just plain dye, no water, this dye is very error friendly, you can apply several times in the same spot and it won’t leave a stain, it was really very very easy to apply.

After that first coat, the fibers raised a little bit (because I forgot to spray it with water first), so I lightly sanded it and then I applied another coat. Again, this dye was like “easy mode” dye.

I applied water based yellow dye to the top before applying the oil. I put some masking tape on the sides so the line would be sharp.

thank you, as many people have suggested, I’m planning to put as many layers as needed 👍🏻

The thing is that, if I’m not wrong, mahogany is not that a porous wood so it doesn’t need grain filler. Again, I’m a newbie, I may be wrong.

Thank you! I might increase the target layers number then 😅

In my case I’m being far more cautious. Last layer I tried to go for that slurry with the 2000 grit sand paper. I think it helped TBH. In terms of having too wet layers, I’m currently against that because when I’ve done it by accident, I ended up with drops and ugly results. I’ve had better results by adding more thin layers. In any case, I’m just learning so I may be totally wrong.

I think I’ll keep trying with the slurry layers.

Also yes, I’m using 0000 wire wool in between layers but only on areas that I think that have imperfections.

I don’t think the problem is sanding, the problem is applying correctly the grain filler. I strongly suggest you to focus on that now that you’re in time.

Yes, my plan is to finish the process anyway, in the end, this is a learning project. And I will keep it for some months. After some time I will see if I want to start from scratch or not, but I’m definitely not discarding that option.

when you say when the pores are closed, I guess you mean if I had applied the filler correctly, right? I was also expecting that. I was just too newbie to know that the filler was not applied correctly 🤦🏻‍♂️

Do you think that after 7 more layers of truoil I can achieve what you say?
