Tung Oil?
I have never used tung oil; it seemed too expensive for what it was.
At a garage sale today I bought a large, very old, bottle of pure tung oil for $0.50. I emptied it into a clean bottle and found it was a very syrupy brown liquid. I put in about 10% turp and it thinned up to a reasonable consistancy. I put some on a scrap of mahogany, with BLO next to it. It is hard to tell the two apart, but maybe the tung is a tad lighter. Don't know how it dries since I just did it. Does this sound like a usable product, or has it gone bad from long storage? The brand is "Hope". Seems like a good idea... |
