found danish to be pretty good
if it gets a bit cruddy a good rub down with steel wool [0000 only] and a burnish with the back of a piece of wet n dry will bring it back
you can also clean it up with shellite and go over it with a light coat of furniture oil
it is very hard to remove danish to bare wood - once on thats it
tru-oil comes off very easily with acetone - i did a project in it and didn't like a lot of its properties - i removed 8 coats in very short orderray c
dunno what's more fun, buyin' the tools or usin' em'

i know the turners love the burnishing oil and it does look superb
when i looked at it i discounted it - wondered about getting a decent buff inside the lower horn - i had visions of furiously buffing a guitar and it grabbing, flying across the room and scaring the cr@p out the dogs - bouncing off a wall and ending up on the fire - probably erring way over on the carefull conservative side there
i am sure it would be great on a guitar -
i wonder what is actually in this stuff - you could bet it aint just oilsray c

Your right Ray, I forgot about the horn this would be hard to do but I like the product and as far as I know the products are all natural from plants, so all I can suggest is look through there website and see what else is more suitable or try Neils product.

Hello IWieldTheSpade,
I have used for sometime now a 50:50 mixture of acrylic lacquer and thinners that I rub on with a tack free cloth - works a treat and lasts. You could then finish with Danish oil - say 2 coats (again rubbed on) and rub back between coats of the oil when dry with 0000 steel wool. Danish oil gives a lovely patina. Drillit. PS. Use a mask with the thinners/lacquer and you should be fine.

you can use diy wiping varnish
i use it a bit and find it works real good - danish tends to be soft and gets marks on it easy - you really need to use a good polishing wax on top like gillies carnauba
plenty of wiping varnish recipes on the interwebz
i go for a low cost low toxicity option if available
poly plus turps works pretty good fro me - not non toxic but better for my liungs than lacquer and thinners
wiping varnish
varnish lacquer polyurethane whatever plus heaps of thinning agent
wipe it on give a minute then wipe off or just leave it and buff between coats
minwax has nasty stuff in it i think from memory - i had a can that went to jelly after a while on the shelf and never used it againray c
dunno what's more fun, buyin' the tools or usin' em'
