FAQ's
How do you use Pure Tung Oil for outdoor projects?
For optimal outdoor performance and minimal maintenance, we recommend applying Pure Tung Oil to outdoor furniture situated under covered porches. Apply it to clean, untreated wood surfaces, and reapply as needed. To ensure the longevity of your outdoor furniture, given its exposure to regular direct sunlight and moisture, we recommend an initial application of at least two coats, followed by subsequent reapplication as needed. Pure Tung Oil is not recommended on pre-treated lumber.
How do you safely restore antiques with Pure Tung Oil?
Begin by cleaning the furniture to remove dust and dirt. If the wood surface is uneven or marred, consider sanding it with fine-grit sandpaper until the wood is clear and raw. If the surface has an old stubborn finish on it, such as shellac, stripping it with a solvent may be necessary. Simply follow our application instructions on the product packaging. Pure Tung Oil will not only revive the antique's natural beauty but also provide lasting protection, preserving its original character and charm for the next generation to enjoy.
What is tung oil?
The oldest known natural wood finish on Earth is likely tung oil (aka China Wood Oil). Derived from the seeds of the tung tree, tung oil can be traced back over 2,500 years to ancient Chinese civilizations who used it for various purposes, including as a wood finish and waterproofing agent. It was first introduced to the United States in the late 19th century as a component for making industrial varnishes and remains a popular natural wood finish choice for its ability to bring out the natural beauty of wood while offering protection against moisture, UV rays, and wear — all without the need of toxic chemicals and synthetics.
