<p>[QUOTE=&quot;verybrad, post: 3512712, member: 37&quot;]I have used straight tung oil before but prefer an equal mixture of&nbsp; tung oil, mineral spirits, and oil based varnish.&nbsp; The varnish helps drying times and builds up quicker, needing fewer coats.&nbsp; If using just tung oil, you might want to cut it by 1/3 to 1/2 to aid penetration. What ever mixture you use, apply with a cotton rag.&nbsp; You really should not need to sand between coats unless you are getting a lot of debris in the finish (use a tack cloth or mineral spirits soaked rag to clean the piece thoroughly before starting).&nbsp; Number of coats will depend on how much is being absorbed in the wood.&nbsp; Expect a minimum of 3.&nbsp; Once the final coat has dried, go over the piece lightly with very fine steel wool and apply a coat of paste wax.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
