USES:
-Wood Finishing:
Tung tree oil is very popular today because of two properties: first, it is a naturally derived substance.
Second, after it cures (5 to 30 days, weather/temperature related), the result is a very hard and easily repaired finish, so it is used on boat decks and now on floors.
Tung tree oil is often diluted with hydrocarbon thinner so its viscosity is very low and enables the oil to penetrate the finest grain woods.
This thinning vehicle evaporates within 15 to 20 minutes.
