100% Tung Oil 16 oz - Pt

Great stuff and worked amazing. Really brought out the natural grain pattern on my curly birch wood knife scales and should help protect them from moisture. Added a nice amber color to the wood while not making it overly dark. I did 5 coats, 1 coat a day for 60mins for 5 days amd it turned out great. I added before and after photos, should be easy to tell which are which. It's very easy to use just wipe on a thin layer and wipe off fully after 60mins. If the wood is soaking it in fast you can add another layer during that 60mins, but be sure to wipe it off fully after 60mins. Tung oil is a natural oil and will not dry like a stain or paint if you leave a layer on. You should wait 12-24hrs between coats to give the oil time to sink deeper into the wood. You can do as many coats as you would like, but once the wood stops absorbing the oil it's pointless to add more in my opinion. You can mix 1:1 with some mineral spirits to help it soak deeper into the wood for your first coat which is what I did, this works good if you have a dense wood as tung oil is a bit thick like maple syrup. Pure tung oil takes 2-4 weeks to fully dry and cure fully so keep that in mind. Once fully cured it polymerizes and forms a hard natural plastic like structure inside the wood grain, this is what helps protect the wood from moisture. Hope's is a bit spendy compared to other brands, but some of those other brands might not even be pure tung oil and mixed with other solvents or chemicals. At least with Hope's you know you're actually getting 100% pure tung oil.

Como dice en la publicación 100% aceite de tung... Algo difícil de encontrar aquí en México... Lo he usado en proyectos de carpintería en específico con nogal americano. Y ha dado excelente resultados aplicado de la manera correcta. Una pena que hayan elevado el precio lo adquirí en $263.00. Buenas compras

Top quality Tung oil. Used it to oil my knife handles and cutting boards. Dried to a very nice finish!

I used this to refurbish a couple cutting boards. It worked as promised, and oddly actually dried faster that some of the "non-food" tung oil blends I've used for furniture refinishing. It makes the surface more resistant to water and bacterial penetration.

I purchased this oil after attempting to lighten the finish on a wooden cross by sanding and using paint remover. I wanted to return the piece to a glossy finish. Hope’s 100% Pure Tung Oil was thick and easy to apply with a microfiber cloth. It has no odor, so I was able to pull on rubber gloves and work on this indoors. It dried overnight, so there were no days or weeks of waiting to add more coats. Three coats did a beautiful job. I’m giving it plenty of time to dry completely before deciding whether I need to add wax or clear coat to protect the shine.
