<p>Thanks Mike. I'm going to try it. Hey Steve, I actually know someone whose garage burned down because he left some oily rags from a remodel he was doing. Luckily, it was a detached garage. I always throw them in a bucket of water or I throw them outside and let it evaporate. </p>

<p>Mark, when I bought the Tru-Oil, it was a little "kit" that had walnut stain, the Tru-Oil, some sort of conditioner, sandpaper, even a couple of paper towels! But also it had a booklet that laid everything out pretty nicely. </p>
<p>Here's a scan of the pore-filling info they provided... (click to enlarge if needed)…</p>

<p>Be aware of the possibility of spontaneous combustion.</p>
<p>Robert O'Brien has some good ideas about this.</p>

<p>Thanks Mike, I might just try that. Were those instructions on the bottle of tru-oil, or did you find them somewhere else?</p>

<p>Hi Mark... </p>
<p> Just re-reading my comment above. Hmmm, it didn't really address your issue, did it?! </p>
<p> I'm no finish expert by a long shot, but I just got done doing a walnut bass body with Tru-Oil and, in reading their instructions, they recommend (if someone's going to fill pores) to do a first coat and let it soak-in to dry. </p>

<p> Then apply a wet coat and sand it while wet, creating a slurry to rub in cross-grain, and let that dry. Finally, light-sand and check the pores. If a second "slurry coat" is needed, so be it. </p>
<p> To be fair, I didn't do that. My walnut is full of character marks, knots and all manner of inconsistencies and I chose to keep it that way... pores and all.
