  • I have recently done this. Used tung oil and mixed in a bit of pigment to create sort of a transparent oil color for added saturation.

    Worked well, but the oil takes multiple weeks to fully dry under best conditions until it doesn’t smell anymore.

    I would either take the time and wait or use a boiled linseed oil finish with added drying agents.

    Also, I had an old bass neck that was treated with the usual mineral oils before. Even though I had flooded the fretboard with naptha, beforehand, it got a bit messy. Oily spots and uneven soaking everywhere. Still not sure if it worked, so I guess it’s possibly one time mineral oil, always mineral oil.


  • That’s the big question, but “living your life as normal” just means doing nothing, that’s usually how fascists win.

    You could start by just talking to people about it, that might already shift their attention to the issue as well, so more people are sensitized to it.

    If you’re in Europe, you could join an antifascist party and get organized, I don’t know how that works in the US.

    But just getting connected and being ready to invest a bit of your time could go a long way.
