In article ,
says...
Pure tung oil does not build nearly so fast, and even after
several coats will not form much of a gloss.
The reason for that is that an oil finish is neither designed to build
nor is a build, considering the attributes of an oil finish, desirable.
If you should eventually add enough to get a build what you have is a
poor substitute for any decent surface finish.
It makes little sense to add 5, 6, coats of oil to get a build of a ****
poor surface finish when two or three coats of varnish, already curing
oil, possibly tung, and resins, are pretty much visually the same and
provides far more protection.
