FAQs of Tung Oil:
Q: How should Tung Oil be applied for wood finishing projects?
A: Apply Tung Oil by brushing or wiping onto clean, sanded wood in thin, even coats. Allow sufficient drying time between applications, typically 24 hours, and repeat for 2-3 coats to establish a robust, water-resistant finish.
Q: What are the main benefits of using Tung Oil over other wood treatments?
A: Tung Oil deeply penetrates wood, providing lasting moisture protection and a hard, yet flexible, non-greasy finish after curing. It enhances the natural grain and color of the wood, while being derived from renewable resources.
Q: When is the ideal time to reapply Tung Oil to maintain surface protection?
A: Reapplication is suggested every 6-12 months for surfaces exposed to frequent use or outdoor conditions. Regular maintenance ensures ongoing durability and preserves the desired finish.
Q: Where should Tung Oil be stored to maximize its shelf life?
A: Store Tung Oil in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources, in its original sealed packaging. These conditions help maintain its quality for up to 24 months.
Q: What process does Tung Oil undergo after application to achieve its characteristic finish?
A: After application, Tung Oil polymerizes upon exposure to air, forming a tough, waterproof, and non-greasy layer. This curing process generally takes several days, depending on temperature and humidity.
Q: How is Tung Oil safely packed for export and bulk supply?
A: Tung Oil is securely packaged in HDPE drums or tin cans, available in 1L, 5L, and 20L sizes. The packaging ensures safe transport and storage for exporters, manufacturers, and traders, conforming to standard industry practices.
