Default tung oil & oak

Actually I seldom go over 180 grit.

Yes, to 320 grit. Maybe I should have gone higher? Will sand again.

Thanks.

I just put a first coat of tung oil on some oak ply and moulding last

night.
Used 50:50 mineral spirits and Minwax Tung Oil for the first coat.

When I rub the oil off, the surface seems catchy. As if some of the

fibres
are raise up. What's the best way to deal with that and get the

surface
smooth again? Is it ok to sand after a coat of tung oil has been

applied?
If
so, how do I get the dust out of the pores?



Did you sand the surface to begin with? If no, you should have. And

yes
you sand that surface again.
