Is Minwax Tung Oil 'Pure' Tung Oil?
I'm finishing some birdseye maple and want to use tung oil to minimize
yellowing. Is all tung oil the same? I see 'tung oil' and then 'pure tung oil' advertised. I'm worried about other addatives causing some yellowing. |
Is Minwax Tung Oil 'Pure' Tung Oil?
The Minwax stuff is sold as "Tung Oil Finish" and does not state it is
pure Tung oil or that it even contains any Tung oil at all. It just says it is an oil finish. It is not like a food product which must state what the ingredients are. In the inverse, if an item says "Pure Tung oil" then they would have an obligation to actually deliver such a product.

It is not like a food product which must state what the ingredients are. In fact, any product called "Tung Oil Finish" is almost guaranteed to NOT contain any tung oil. :-). But there are tung oil products out there. I know Woodcraft carries a couple and I'm sure others do as well. -- Intelligence is an experiment that failed - G. B. Shaw |

If you want to minimize any coloring on the maple, I'd recommend using a
water clear finish, such as lacquer or Waterbased Poly, such as Minwax Polycrylic. As far as the "Tung oil finish - Your guess is as good as any as to what's in it. -- Gregory Paolini Design www.GregoryPaolini.com Handmade Custom Furniture, Cabinetry & Built-Ins Plus a new knowledge base with tips and tricks for woodworking enthusiasts! wrote in message ...

On the other hand, I've done MANY successful projects with the low sheen Watco Tung Oil Finish. It's among my favorite finishes, when I'm looking for that simple hand rubbed look, but want something just a little harder. Rocking horses, tabletops, butcher block counters without a lot of water contact, etc. |
