Hi.
I tend to apply tung oil on most of my pieces and basically what I do is what is suggested on the instructions. " Apply, and wipe off excess after one hour" " one or two coats for interior light use and three to five coats for exterior or heavy use" Thinning with pure turpentine oil (max 10%) or orange oil (max 5%).
I've never tried mixing it with linseed oil or wax, following one of the formulas that are around.
According to your experience is there any other way of applying it or a favourite formula that you'd like to share?
Thanks in advance.
