Its all I use.. any gun store and sometimes Walmart has it... I think it works better... you can rub it on with your hands or a rag....Brian

Brian, I'm talking about tru-oil in an aerosal can.  I use tru-oil too, on all my bows, just haven't used it in a can ;)

Ya it worked once for me, but then the nozzle got clogged and i tried using acetone and it worked again but then it got clogged again. Not fun. I prefer wipe on poly.

not sure but try this next time
when finished spraying hte product,turn the can upside down ans spray for about 2-3 seconds
only air shold be coming out now,this should clear the nozzle  ;)

I've never used tru-oil but I did buy a new type of finish a month ago.  It's a polymerized linseed oil and modified pine sap that you wipe on.  Makes for an interesting finish, downside is it takes at least 24 hours to cure
