Preparation

Ensure the wood surface is bare: remove any wax finishes with Liberon Wax and Polish Remover and any varnish finishes with Liberon Fine Wood Stripper
Clean, dry and ensure the surface is dust free

Application

Ready to use
Apply Tung Oil using a brush or lint-free cotton cloth
For ease of application dilute the first one or two coats with up to 50% white spirit
Allow the oil to penetrate for 20 to 30 minutes then wipe off the excess oil using a clean lint-free cloth
Allow to dry for 24 hours between coats
Apply further coats of Tung Oil as above, reducing the amount of white spirit used with subsequent coats
Again allow 24 hours to dry
Apply the last one or two coats of Tung Oil undiluted, as in previous applications
After the final coat has been applied and the excess removed leave for 24 hours and wipe over again to aid drying and remove any oil that may have surfaced
Liberon recommends a minimum of 4 coats; more coats will be required for porous or external surfaces
For best results gently rub with Liberon Ultra Fine Steel Wool (0000) between coats
Leave for a few days before use to allow the Pure Tung Oil to dry fully
Furniture items may be finished with Liberon Black Bison Wax for an improved lustre
Important: Oil finishes bring out the natural colours of timber. A wet surface will be an indication of the final colour. Always test product on a spare surface or inconspicuous area for colour, compatibility and end result

Cleaning and maintenance

Pure Tung Oil must be maintained on a regular basis
Apply at least once or twice a year or more if required, depending upon exposure to the weather and usage
On exposed external timbers it is important to apply sufficient coats of oil to give the initial protection

Precautions

Tung Oil is extracted from nuts and may cause an allergic reaction
Store Liberon Tung Oil at a temperature above 5 °C. Always replace the lid otherwise the oil can deteriorate
Oily cloths can self combust. Do not leave impregnated cloths in bundles. Before discarding lay them flat outside to dry to avoid a fire hazard
If the excess is not removed and the surface becomes sticky, wipe with white spirit to remove the sticky film and allow to dry before continuing

Health and Safety
Keep out of the reach of children. Do not empty into drains. Use only in well-ventilated areas
