Tung Oil 500ml

Pure Tung Oil – Nature’s Strength for Maximum Protection & a Velvety Finish

Tung oil is legendary in the woodworking world for its unique protective properties. Our Tung Oil is 100% pure, high-quality oil, free from chemical thinners or artificial driers. This makes it a completely natural, non-toxic, and safe product that provides one of the toughest protections known to nature.

Once cured, it forms a wear-resistant and waterproof layer with a beautiful natural matte finish that doesn't just sit on the wood—it becomes a part of it.

✨ Why is Tung Oil the "Gold Standard" in Protection?

• 🍏 Food Safe: Completely non-toxic, making it the perfect choice for cutting boards, bowls, wooden utensils, and kitchen worktops.

• 🛡️ Extreme Water Resistance: Renowned for its superior ability to repel water, protecting timber from swelling, warping, and rot.

• 🧸 Ideal for Nurseries: Its pure, chemical-free composition makes it the preferred choice for wooden toys and children’s furniture.

• ☀️ UV & Weather Resistant: Effectively shields outdoor wood, preventing it from graying and cracking under sun and rain.

• 🪄 Matte Finish: Enhances the natural grain of the wood without creating an artificial, "plastic-like" shine.

🏘️ Best Applications:

📊 Coverage & Economy:

Due to its pure, undiluted formula, Tung Oil is highly concentrated:

• 1 Liter: Covers up to 20 m² (per single coat).

• 💡 Shelf Life: The product retains its quality for many years. Once opened, we recommend using it within 1 year for optimal results.

🛠️ Instructions for Use (The Professional Protocol):

1. Preparation: The wood must be clean, dry, and finely sanded.

2. Application: Use a lint-free cloth or a brush. Apply the oil liberally, following the direction of the wood grain.

3. Absorption: Allow it to penetrate for approximately 20–30 minutes.

4. Wipe (Crucial Step): Wipe away all excess oil with a clean cloth. This is the most important step to prevent sticky patches!

5. Drying & Coats: Leave to dry for 24 hours. For maximum protection, especially for outdoor furniture or kitchen worktops, apply 3 to 5 coats.

💡 Expert Tip for a "Wet Look" Finish:

"Tung oil gives wood a slight amber tint that makes colors deeper and more vibrant (the 'wet look'). If you want the surface to feel even silkier to the touch, lightly rub the wood with super-fine steel wool (0000) between the final two coats."
