Just rub the stuff in, leave it a couple of minutes and buff it all off/ cut back with wire wool every few coats. Fret boards don't benefit from being as sleek as the back of the neck, of at least, the frets should be sleek rather than the board which can just be sleek enough
The wire wool will take any residual oil off the frets. Scraping is for lacquer

Thanks for being such a great help.
Ouch! Sharpened tufnol for this job.

Like Gorilla Glue, it is getting more commonly available now.
I rubbed on, let dry, 00 and 0000 wire wool, then repeated a few times.
I am sure there must be something on gun forums or somewhere about tinting Tru Oil.

Never managed primary colours with it though

Wood stains are all I'll be doing.

I think I used an antique pine for the amber one, Jacobean oak
for the greyer one which was mimicking the colour a raw neck goes.
The amber also had some walnut stain applied and sanded back before the tinted oil just to make the grain a bit dirtier
