Ukulele Kit Construction, Part IV
27 Jan, 2005
I applied five coats of Tru-Oil to the ukulele, letting each one dry for at least 12 hours and using steel wool between each coat. Informal Google reasearch indicates that a lot of instrument makers who use Tru-Oil apply as many as a dozen coats, but it really looked quite nice after five coats – nothing I’d call professional quality, but well-sealed with a nice sheen.
I will also admit to being a tad eager to get the thing finished and strung by this point!
