Product Uses
L.Co’s Pure Tung Oil is 100% completely natural, food contact safe, and is made by pressing the seeds of the tung tree. Tung oil has the extraordinary benefit of penetrating into the pores of the wood, waterproofing, while enhancing the natural color and texture of the grain. Tung oil can even be applied on concrete, brick or metal surfaces.
Product Details
Directions for use:
For periodic maintenance and light repairs: Clean the surface free of any waxes and dirt. Apply a small amount of L.Co Pure Tung Oil with a clean soft cotton cloth allowing the oil absorb into the wood for a few minutes. Wipe off any excess and buff the surface smooth until dry to the touch. Allow to dry overnight.
For new wood:
Prepare a clean and dry surface by sanding up to 400 grit sandpaper. Apply a small amount of L.Co Pure Tung Oil with a clean soft cotton cloth letting the oil absorb into the wood for a few minutes. Wipe off any excess and buff the surface smooth until dry to the touch. Allow to completely dry overnight before applying additional coats if required. Lightly sand with 800 grit sandpaper between coats.
