oil

Hi! I am making my own guitar tone capasitors. Basic paper and foil capasitors are easy to make, but now I want to start making paper in oil capasitors. Where I can find mineral or insulating oil for my project? What kind of oil is usually used in tone caps?

Hello, I am looking for some help I am planning in using oldies oil and burnishing up to 3000g as this is the highest i can find at my local stores to get a smooth dark look with hopefully some really nice figuring. I have a warmoth roasted maple neck and so far have: -sanded to 120 grit -then...

Hey guys, been poking around looking for info about oil finishes and I've been recommended Tru Oil a lot by people, but I've also read that it builds up to a shiny finish. I'm refinishing a guitar that the previous owner botched. Mahogany body/neck and looking to strip the finish down, dye the...

Now that I need an actual adjustment I find the wheel only moves about 1/8" in either direction then I meet total resistance either way. Is...

I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on making a partcaster tele, but I'm very unsure how to go about finishing it. https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/static.music-man.com/website/images/instruments/instrument-1.png This is what I'm hoping to replicate. I love the color and the very pale...

Or how to achieve something similar? I want a nice clear finish on my walnut jazzmaster project, but nothing too shiny. This finish has a nice matted sheen that would be perfect. Thanks!
