Tru-oil is basically linseed oil. . The "drying " process is both oxidation and polymerization.The process actually continues fo a long time.
If you're starting on bare wood it's sometimes a good idea to thin the Tru-oil for the first coat. Further coats should be THIN . Drying at least 24 hours between coats.The best job is a long one !
