Having lost mt patience with polyurethane I decided to try something
new. I made a mission bed for my son and I decided to go with a Tung
oil/urethane mixture (General Finishes, Sealacell). How many coats
should I apply? The directions on the can are a little sketchy.


You are testing on scrap, aren't you?

Stop when it looks like you want it to. That might be four or five coats.
It depends on how you apply it. If you wipe it down qickly, like one of
the TV gurus does, it builds more slowly, but more evenly.

Building implies developing a film. If he wants a film, he should just use
poly; it will produce a better result than poly/oil.
