Description |
Tung oil is a transparent or slightly turbid liquid, extracted from the seeds of the tung nut (tung tree). |
Used For |
Ideal for timber treatments where water repellency is required. Food safe finish when used pure/undiluted. Timber sealer |
Surface Preparation |
Ensure the surface is clean and dry before application. Gilly's LoThin can be used for a vigorous clean. For a lighter clean, you can use an all purpose cleaner. If there is any oil, wax, grease, dirt or similar residue on the surface, it may affect the tung oil's ability to cure - so a thorough clean is important. |
How to Apply To Raw Timber |
|
Dry Time |
24 hours to dry between coats. As there are no driers, it can take 4 weeks to completely cure. Light usage is however perfectly fine within this time frame. There should be general water repellency within the first week if the conditions are right. |
Maintenance |
For general maintenance and wear, you can assess as you see fit. We would recommend reapplying a light coat every 12 months to keep your timber looking fresh. Over time, with the right maintenance, the finish will only get stronger. When damaged, no sanding is required, you can reapply as needed, even to small areas. |
Clean Up |
Cleanup with Gilly's Lothin. Warm, soapy water for hand washing. |
