I have never been a handy sort of guy, but Tung oil is so easy to use that this project was a breeze. I'm finishing six bamboo poles for use in Shibari so they will get banged around a bit, being tied together and such. I sanded lightly with 320 sandpaper to remove any residue and applied the first three coats with 24 hours between each. It's just a matter of applying the oil liberally, letting it set for about an hour, and wiping off the excess. The first coat absorbed completely, but successive coats seemed to leave more oil on the surface. After three coats, I waited 48 hours between the next three, and 72 hours for the last coat. The oil darkens the surface and brings out the natural beauty of the material. It takes less than ten minutes for me to apply the oil to the six, two-inch by three-foot poles, and much less than that to wipe them down later. Perhaps fifteen minutes total. With seven coats that an hour forty-five for the whole project, but spread over ten days. I used less than half of the thirty-two ounces, so I have plenty left for repairs or other pieces I may want to finish. Tung oil is non-toxic so I didn't wear any hand protection. It's non-volatile so no breathing protection, and it smells rather pleasantly like peanuts. After, it washes off easily with a little detergent. As to how durable the finish is, that remains to be seen.

i refinished a very old pine floor with 1:1 mix of real milk citrus solvent and pure tung oil. one gal of each allowed for 6 coats on 500sq ft of floor with spectacular results. this was the ideal finish for my floor because i could not stay off of it for more than an hour at a time and am very sensitive to nasty chemicals. i put on a coat a day and my house smelled like orages for two weeks! i was walking on it with a dedicated pair of slippers which got a little oily but no problem. i have refinished many furniture with this same mix. since i hate the yellow tinge of pine, i dyed the floor a little with water base dye a mix of pre-mixed cherry dye and red... tip of teaspoon mixed in quart of water... the result is a really beautiful warm red tint to the floor which the tung oil finished beautifully. i never use stain on anything i do furniture or floors... water based dyes are the only way to go. tung oil cut with citrus solvent is the only wood finish worth using for any wood. non. toxic, easy to use, fool proof, easy future repairs and invisible patch repairs, supper easy to use, easy to clean after. what else do you want?! i ordered two mover solvents and another tung oil. the first set arrived in 2 days. the 2nd set was very late to arrive... i was getting ready to call. i was surprised since the first set got here so fast. still... the best price on these i have found and good service. once you use it, you will never use any other.

This is real Tung oil from China. Not whatever is in those cans in the big box place You have to renew every 3 months forever. Its food grade, not thinned, the stuff that has been doing preserving work and hand rubbed luster for 2000 years. I mix it one half oil to one half mineral spirits. brush, roll, spread around with your bare hand. but apply liberally. leave it for about a half hour. Then rub with clean white rags. rub till dry in appearance. This is a "drying oil" Oxygen catalyzes it. So don't leave it on with puddles and not rub it dry or you will have a gooey mess. This is by FAR the easiest finish to apply. Apply every other day till you have 3 coats. It will leave a golden, satin, finish that will amaze you. After a couple more days it will be very scratch resistant. At most in 6 months It might need one more coat. Then it will be good for years. Excellent for raw wood floor finish, tables , even as a polish. Your friends will ask how you got that rich color.

A little goes a long way. Longer drying time but chemical free and has a pleasant nutty odor. Finish is about as good as it gets using tung oil

Generally happy with the results although the final color to the wood bookcase was darker than I expected. The application was easy and 2 coats were sufficient for resurrecting a beautiful, very old mahogany bookcase which was revealed after multiple layers of paint had been removed. Even in a space that was not ideally ventilated, there was no problem using this product. Since the wood was very porous after stripping the paint off, I used the tung oil full strength rather than diluted. That worked well. I applied only a light second coat, also full strength but with a very soft wide brush so as not to leave brush marks. Again, this seemed to work very well on this piece. I would have given the tung oil 5 stars if it were not for the darkening of the wood and the fact that it did not go as far as I anticipated. I had to use twice as much as I would have expected for this smallish bookcase.

I added an acacia butcher block into the end of my kitchen island. I used 3 coats of the Real Milk Paint Tung Oil and I am very pleased with the finished look. I have attached two photos of the butcher block, one photo shows about half half of the butcher block covered in with the first coat of tung oil and the other photo is the completely finished butcher block withe the full 3 coats of tung oil. I left the tung oil on for 24 hours before each application. I applied the tung oil with a paint brush and wiped off any excess oil with a paper towel.Follow up: I accidentally ran a sharper than expected bread knife through a loaf of bread and the end of the blade put a deep cut into my butcher block counter. I was a little freaked out about how bad the cut looked but I immediately poured a little of the tung oil over the cut and rubbed it in with my finger, the cut immediately darkened and faded away...I can't even tell a deep cut was there, this stuff is awesome!
