After reading this, I wonder if I'm doing something wrong with Tru Oil. I've refinished at least a dozen sets of handgun grips and it always worked great for me. I just rub it in with my finger, rubbing really fast until I feel real heat from the friction and let it sit for an hour or so, or overnight. Then I do it again and again until I have the finish I want. Usually that means 30 coats, mostly at first to fill the pores and then get the nice finish.
