Liberon Pure Tung Oil - 1 Litre

Yes, Liberon Pure Tung Oil contains no added dryers and is a natural, non-toxic product, making it suitable for use on objects that come into contact with food, such as salad bowls and chopping boards.

For optimal protection and durability, 3 to 5 thin coats are generally recommended. The number of coats can vary depending on the absorbency of the wood and the desired level of protection.

It is specifically recommended for exterior oak. For other exterior woods, it offers good water resistance, but for extreme marine conditions, dedicated marine varnishes might be more appropriate.

Rags soaked in oil can spontaneously combust. Lay them flat to dry completely in a well-ventilated area away from heat sources, or soak them in water in a sealed metal container before disposal.

Pure Tung Oil is 100% tung oil with no additives. Danish Oil is typically a blend of Tung Oil or Linseed Oil with varnishes and dryers, designed for quicker drying and a slightly different finish.

No, Tung Oil is designed to penetrate bare wood. Existing finishes like varnish or paint must be completely removed before applying Tung Oil.

While the surface may feel dry within 24-48 hours between coats, the oil takes several weeks (up to 30 days) to fully cure and achieve its maximum hardness and resistance.

This often indicates that too much oil was applied or excess was not wiped off thoroughly. Apply a cloth dampened with a little mineral spirits to remove the excess tackiness, wipe dry, and allow to air out. Ensure proper wiping of excess oil in future applications.

Ensure the wood was uniformly prepared and that oil was applied evenly. If blotchiness occurs after the first coat, lightly sand the affected area with fine-grit sandpaper and reapply a thin, even coat, wiping off all excess thoroughly.

Liberon Pure Tung Oil contains no added dryers, resulting in longer drying times, especially in cooler or humid conditions. Ensure adequate ventilation and patience. Drying times can extend beyond 48 hours in unfavorable conditions. Avoid applying subsequent coats until the previous one is fully dry to the touch.

These are often water marks. Reapply a thin coat of Pure Tung Oil to the affected area, allow it to penetrate, and wipe off any excess. This usually helps to restore the finish and blend the area.
