roughsawn Posted June 17, 2023 Report Share Posted June 17, 2023 I recently met a fellow that finished some furniture with a mix of 50/50 BLO and Tongue Oil. It was VERY nice. Has any of you used this combination, and do you have any comments regarding it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wimayo Posted June 19, 2023 Report Share Posted June 19, 2023 I have used an equal parts mix of BLO, varnish, and turpentine or a mix slightly lighter in color, tung oil, varnish, and mineral spirits (paint thinner). Either is very easy to apply and makes a nice finish by wiping on several coats very thinly. It is a bit less durable than a film finish like varnish alone or a polyurethane, but very forgiving to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drzaius Posted June 19, 2023 Report Share Posted June 19, 2023 Be aware that Tung Oil can be just about any blend of solvents, oils and resins. If you want pure Tung Oil, it needs to say so on the container. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
