Any sage advise for wipe-on application of waterlox? I'm finding it
'gummy' as opposed to
say, Watco. Must be the Tung Oil.

I've taken to wiping off almost as soon as I apply it, and that's
working pretty good. That and not wiping too long.

I would probably take a good read here, first.

You can thin the product a bit if you need to if you want to extend
your open time, but it sounds like you are putting too much on and
goofing with it too long.

Use a no-lint painter's rage folded into a pad as an applicator and
get plenty on the applicator. Apply a quick, thin coat and leave it
alone.

Repeat.

What are you putting this finish on?

Putting it on Cherry. I've found if I goof with it too much, another
quick wipe of the waterlox will smooth it out.
