Dark Tung Oil

Real Milk Paint Company

Product Description

Real Milk Paint Company Dark Tung Oil is a natural, non-toxic, water resistant finish for your woodworking projects. It is the same as the Pure Tung Oil, but a natural resinous hydrocarbon has been added into the Tung Oil which will give wood a rich, dark, aged look. Dark Tung Oil builds to a matte, elastic finish that resists marring and is easily renewable.

Dark Tung Oil is thick and not thinned. Tung oil protects wood by penetrating deeply into the wood surface. Although Dark Tung Oil may absorb easily into end grain, you may wish to thin it with a high quality thinner. Our preference is to use the non-toxic Real Milk Paint Citrus Solvent. Using this thinner will maintain the FDA food safety rating of the Dark Tung Oil.

If you prefer to have your Dark Tung Oil thinned for you, take a look at Real Milk Paint Dark Half. As its name suggests, Dark Half is a 50-50 mixture of Dark Tung Oil and Citrus Solvent. It is ready to apply straight from the bottle.
If you are finishing a very dense wood, such as a tropical exotic wood, you may find that you prefer to thin Dark Tung Oil by more than 50 percent. Thinning will help absorption.

If the first coat of oil is lying on the surface of the wood and not sinking in, you will know that further thinning is required.  Ideally you should apply multiple coats for the maximum amount of protection.
