Regardless of what your nose thinks, George, and what the wood finish
manufacturer advertises, we found no actual Tung Oil in our tests. The
ingredients in a wood finish are only "regulated" as it pertains to
health/safety. Formby's can't say that they "meet or exceed Low-VOC levels"
for this product because of it for example. Nowhere in those "regulations"
do they have to completely and specifically (or terribly accurately) tell
you what is in there unless it falls into some FDA, EPA, OSHA, etc. lists.
Tung Oil doesn't fall into those lists. They can tell you anything they
want in that case.

I don't rely on advertising, especially in the wood finishing business. I
test it.

Of course, Ken, your nose will recognize the scent of tung oil in the
finish
if you use it, and the ingredients list is regulated.

Andy's is, as usual, different.
