If you have put in on an oily tropical wood it may never dry completly, otherwise it should not be sticky.

Also if it's been sitting on your shelf for a year or more it will remain sticky. I had some that was a little over a year old, put it on a Kodiak Mag I was refinishing, what a mess. Removed it, bought a new bottle, applied it and was dry in a few hours.

If you are using tropical wood, seal it with shellac before adding the Tru-Oil.

Completely removed all impurities with both alcohol and WD40 spray, before I applied it. It's not sticky when it dries, but sheesh, it's gets sticky real fast if it's not constantly being rubbed  :o

I don't think the WD40 did you any favors.

#1 active ingredient in WD-40 is fish oil.

Tom, that's why steelhead and salmon will strike at a lure sprayed with WD40!!! I always thought that was kind of weird...now it kind of makes sense...fish oil!
