some 15 years ago I used a commercial tung oil finish (pure except for
dilution) according to instructions. Had wonderful results on walnut
and maple. So 15 or or years later the finish got very tacky ( was
indoors al the time and out of the sun). Why did this happen and how
do I get rid of the stickiness?

FYI, the "Tung Oil Finish" products that are marketed are quite varied
in what they actually contain; many have no tung oil in them at all.
It could be tung oil, boiled lindseed oil, oil/varnish/solvent mix
(think Watco), or a wiping varnish. Maybe something else.

So, what brand product did you use?

However, any of these products typically dry and I wouldn't expect to
see them get tacky years later. I'd guess what you have is heavy on
the oil side, and somehow oil has not dried and made its way to the
surface.

Did the instructions say to apply (perhaps flood the surface), wait a
little bit, then wipe it off? Then repeat the next day?

Did both the maple and the walnut become tacky? Walnut is more open
pored than maple, I could see some oil seeping from pores in walnut
(but after 15 years, that is a surprise).

Also, I assume you mean the finish applied 15 years earlier has gotten
tacky, and not that you recently appliled some of that finish
purchased 15 years ago and it didn't dry properly.

You could try wiping with mineral spirits to see what effect that has.
I'd start on a small area. If that doesn't work, perhaps try other
commonly used wood finishing solvents, such as lacquer thinner.

After curing for 15 years I suspect something applied to the table, such
as a furniture polish, dissolved the tung oil finish.

walnut was worse than maple, but both bad. Mineral spirits do not clean it
up, nor does naptha. The brand was Southerland-Wells ( forgot spelling)

LOL ... you gotta point. You have to excuse my early morning rant. We
ran out of coffee yesterday and I've trekked to StarBucks for the second

Had a good look around this morning. Like being at a zoo. Where do these

It's the principle. Like those websites whose entire contents consists
of stuff lifted whole from other websites. In most cases it's not
illegal, it just smells a little rotten.

I can run out of a lot of things and be fine, coffee isn't one of them. I saw
"This Old House" several months ago and got a charge out of the opening. This is how you can tell Silva is the real deal: in the opening credits and theme, they work coffee into the show by having them get some at the start of the day on site. Anyone in this industry knows for sure that it runs on coffee.

I am still chuckling though, at the mental image of Karl in a Starbucks for anything!

I like a good cup of coffee like most others but I'm still scratching
my head over the concept of a $4 cup of coffee. Sure I occasionly stop
at a Starbucks but I don't find their coffee really any better than
Panera or any other coffee shop. However, I have quite a few friends
and family members who swear they can't live without Starbucks.

A few years ago Dunkin Donuts started remodeling and changing their
image. Now I prefer to go there for a good ole' cup of joe; no fancy
stuff. This year I found the perfect gift there for a few of the
Starbuckers in my clan. A shirt that says, "Friends don't let Friends
drink Starbucks". I figure I'll get a few laughs and a few shirts
thrown back but it will be worth it.

Totally agree with that. I find Starbuck to be awful coffee, and way too
expensive. Eight O'Clock coffee, dunkin donuts, most of the little shops
have better coffee, for much less, although Starbucks price allowed most
of them to raise their prices a little.

No argument here. I've tried it 3 or 4 times at different places because
I couldn't believe it was consistently that bad - it was. I wouldn't buy
it at 50 cents a cup with free refills :-).

Back when I was working and had money, I used to buy various premium
beans and grind them myself. So I think I can claim to know good coffee
a little better than the Folgers aficionados :-).
