Tung oil may not be drying properly due to factors like low temperature, high humidity, or applying too thick of a coat. These conditions can hinder the oxidation process needed for the oil to dry effectively.
The recommended drying time between coats when using tung oil is typically 24 hours.
The typical drying time for tung oil when used as a finish on wood surfaces is around 24 to 48 hours.
To properly maintain and care for tung oil floors, regularly clean them with a damp mop and mild soap, avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, and reapply tung oil finish every few years to protect the wood and maintain its beauty.

Yes, tung oil is generally considered food safe for use on kitchen utensils and cutting boards. It is a natural drying oil that forms a hard, waterproof finish when applied to wood surfaces. However, it is important to use pure tung oil or a food-safe tung oil finish, as some tung oil products may contain additives that are not safe for food contact. Be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions for application and curing to ensure the safety of your kitchen items.
Boiled linseed oil (blo) and tung oil are both popular wood finishes, but they have some key differences. Blo dries faster and provides a more amber tone, while tung oil dries slower and offers a more natural look. For your woodworking project, consider the desired finish and drying time. If you want a quicker drying time and a warmer tone, blo may be more suitable. If you prefer a more natural look and are willing to wait longer for it to dry, tung oil could be a better choice. Ultimately, the decision depends on your preferences and project requirements.
Yes, you can use tung oil over stain for your project.
Yes, as long as a food safe finish is applied, such as tung oil, or mineral oil. Reapply when wood seems to be drying out.
Used inside, tung oil does not darken, unlike linseed oil. However, linseed oil costs about half as much as tung oil. Therefore, most of the "teak oils" on the market contain mostly linseed as the oil component rather than the more expensive tung oil. The remaining ingredients are penetrants and driers. The same effect can be achieved by mixing turpentine with tung oil prior to application. Another difference is that tung oil will offer a bit more protection from water spotting (if someone fails to use a coaster). I believe tung oil hardens a bit more than linseed, although I am not certain where I saw this.
Tung oil typically takes about 24 to 48 hours to dry completely.
