kevin_lindsay Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Yeah, I've used it for years on Pau Ferro boards. It works exactly the same way as it does on rosewood boards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreek Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Anybody else used Power Force Orange Oil floor cleaner? Available from Aldi, I used them to clean and oil my Nanyo project after removing the paint. Doesn't seem to have had any adverse effects and the neck feels lovely. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Cleaning-wipe-Power-Force-orange-80-Wipes-anti-bacterial-alcohol-bleach-free-/222629020134 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJE Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 (edited) For anyone interested, I gave up on lemon oil about 2 years ago as I found it wasn’t really nourishing the rosewood boards on my guitars. I have used it for years and it never seemed to properly condition the wood, it just soaked in and the board looked fine for a week and then dried out. I did some google research and found a lot of luthiers and guitar companies in general moving away from it and using Music Nomad F-One oil. I bought a bottle and tried it and for me and my guitars it works so much better than lemon oil and has lasted and really seems to ‘feed’ the wood and make it look and feel superb. I’m converted and think it is well worth it (a bottle will last a few guitars for years). Edited January 11, 2019 by NJE 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
