some 15 years ago I used a commercial tung oil finish (pure except for
dilution) according to instructions. Had wonderful results on walnut
and maple. So 15 or or years later the finish got very tacky ( was
indoors al the time and out of the sun). Why did this happen and how
do I get rid of the stickiness?

After curing for 15 years I suspect something applied to the table, such
as a furniture polish, dissolved the tung oil finish.
