Tru-Oil would more likely be mostly boiled linseed oil and some drying agents. Shellac is used more as a friction type of polish. Sometime it is mixed with waxes and or a little boiled linseed oil. I am not sure how the tru-oil would really bond to the vaseline...??? Maybe the solvents in the BLO mix with the vaseline or lift it from the pad ?? I haven't used this method but I am sure that it would work. Once it dries it probably is a little slippery and will mount much better than a fresh rubber pad will.
