I've been using monocoat oil plus 2c for the past year and a half and have no complaints at all. It's the thinnest finish possible, since it's a single coat and is a thin oil. I think it looks lovely, and is a pure matte look. No satin or gloss possible.
You need to prep the wood really well, since there's no touch up work possible with CA glue etc. I pore fill with timbermate, as recommended by the rubio team. Then I sand it back with 220,320 and 400 for a super smooth surface. Then apply the finish.
The good things about it for acoustics are-
1. you can glue on the bridge first and then apply finish.
2.you can get the hardware and strings on the same day as the finish is applied
3. If you do get a scratch, just touch up that area with a drop of oil later on.
4. The catalyst isn't really needed, but it helps with curing speed.
5. Ten minutes and application work is done!
I highly recommend it. If you want a finish that can build up a bit of a sheen, try Osmo Oil.
Cheers,
Karan

Looking on the Rubio webpage you can get it in many different colors/shades. I guess getting a darker shade would allow you to stain & finish in the same one coat. Am I understanding this correctly?

So, no shellac seal coats or anything like that. No epoxy pore fill as well?Rolo

Probably a long shot question, but does anyone have any idea of the cured film thickness? Is there even a film to measure? This is very intriguing stuff if you're going for a non-gloss finish.

Sean
Monocoat was designed to be used on hardwood floors, so once it’s cured (about 2 weeks), a guitar isn’t really an issue.
Having said that, the oldest guitar I’ve built with it is about 6 years old and the finish in most areas is the same as when it was new. Areas where the nails or plectrum hit the surface get scratched, but takes 2 minutes to touch up.
Hope this helps

So the only finish on the wood on your necks is the Monocoat?
Rubio Monocoat Oil plus 2C is the finish I use on all my necks (that's the best feel I ever got) , and many of my guitars, both electric and acoustic.I sand up to 800 grit before applying. MONOcoat: one coat only rubbed with a paper towel. five minutes, et voila...Easy fix too... just rub some product over.--
