Pure Tung Oil Finish
Tung oil or China wood oil is a drying oil obtained by pressing the seed from the nut of the Tung tree (Vernicia fordii). The oil and its use are believed to have originated in ancient China and appear in the writings of Confucius from about 400 BC. Not that we are directing you away from this thousand-year-old 100% natural product, but it takes a serious commitment. Regular reapplication is a must—once a week for a month, once a month for a year, once a year ever after,” as the saying goes. The results can be gorgeous, as long as you have the necessary patience.
Pine and Tung Oil
But what about Tung Oil and Southern Pine? Every single finish, customer project using oils looks amazing, it is about time certainly not the protection. After drying time, this oil finish forms a protective final coat over top of the surface to which it’s been applied. As for Southern Pine and Heart Pine our experience has been with blends or additive products, such as Milk Paint. However, as long as you are using 50% or greater Tung Oil you can get that amazing protection which looks great on pine.
Penetrating oil look & ‘Green’
Why do we love it? Two reasons; Unlike almost everything else imported from China, Tung Oil is ‘Green’. And Tung oil “makes pine pop”. Nothing deepens the contrast and colors of our #2 Knotty Pine more perfectly. Oils period, and certainly Tung Oil (s) have many detractors, but they make some gorgeous floors. And by detractors we mean installation professionals. Most are not keen to 4-5 coats and 2-day cure with sanding in between. SYP Direct can help you with that problem, find out more.
