Only very old, dry wood or concrete tends to use unthinned Dark Tung Oil. NOTE: Most projects DO require this thinning.Typically these thinners have a milky appearance in the bottle rather than clear. These do not mix with the tung oil and will create adverse effects on your finish. Do not use a mineral spirit or odorless mineral spirit marketed as “green”, “eco-friendly”, or similar verbiage. If you’re looking to be a bit more economical, try our Odorless Mineral Spirits. If you are doing a project where you want to use natural, food contact safe products, try our Citrus Solvent. You can thin Dark Tung Oil with a variety of thinners. Dark Tung Oil is a naturally thick liquid and usually requires thinning to help it absorb into the wood. Determine if you will need to thin the tung oil.This will seal the wood and prevent the tung oil from absorbing. Most oil-based stains should be avoided as they tend to seal the wood and prevent absorption of the Dark Tung Oil. If a color other than that provided by the tung oil is desired, we recommend using water or alcohol-based stains on the wood before the Dark Tung Oil is applied.
