Overview
Morrells Tung Oil is 100% pure Tung nut oil, made from the pressed seeds of the Chinese Tung Tree and gives a superior finish to that of other traditional pure oils, such as Linseed oil. Normally produced in China, it gives a smooth, clean finish that forms a thin film on furniture and other wooden surfaces to provide a water-resistant barrier when 3-5 coats have been applied. Tung oil is able to move and flex as wooden surfaces and furniture expand and contract with changing temperatures. Easy to work with and maintain, pure Tung oil is both safe and versatile and can be used on almost any surface including, food preparation areas, floorboards, furniture, children's play areas, childrens toys and much more.
Please note: Tung Oil is extracted from nuts and may cause an allergic reaction.
Preparation
It is recommended that any dirt and grease is removed from the surface with a good quality white spirit or other form of de-greasing agent.
- Any areas of wear should be lightly sanded to a smooth finish, then cleaned to remove any dust or debris
- Fill any gaps or splits with Morrells Wax Filler Sticks or Morrells Two-Part Coloured Wood Fillers
- Surfaces can be degreased with White Spirit before oiling
Application
Always do a test area before starting any project, to asses product suitability and final finish. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the tin at all times.
- Morrells Tung Oil is easily applied with a lint-free cloth or paint brush
- Work the oil in to the wood in a circular motion and finish off in the direction of the wood grain
- For new wood, the first 2 coats of the Tung oil finish should be applied thinly as this helps to form a better base coat
- The first few coats should be allowed to penetrate fully before adding further coats
- The third and subsequent coats can be applied more heavily
- Around 3-5 coats should be used on internal wooden surfaces and at least 5 coats should be used on external wooden surfaces
- Tung oil naturally has a matt finish but a slight sheen can be obtained if the final Tung oil finish is buffed with fine grade wire wool (between 00 and 0000 grade)
Please Note: Tung oil can be slow drying and waiting times depend on the coverage and the environmental conditions. It is possible to thin Tung oil, if necessary with white spirit. A thick coat will dry within 3 days and a thin coat will dry in around 12 - 24 hours.
Aftercare
Storage
As with most wood finishing oils, waxes and stains, care should be taken with the storage of Morrells Tung Oil. To prolong the life and retain the properties it should be stored in a tightly sealed container somewhere that is both cool and dry.
Maintenance
Morrells Tung Oil is very easy to maintain and repair. Most knocks, minor damages and stains from spillages can be removed by gently sanding the affected area and re-applying a fresh coat of Tung Oil. This will blend in with the original finish to produce an almost invisible repair.
