Want to put this on a new cyprus wall in house. Should I mix it with citrus solvent or apply full strength?

Hi Gail, a 50/50 mix of tung oil and citrus solvent has worked best for us. Best of luck!

Personally I'd put it on full strength. I am unsure of the purpose of the citrus solvent other than a specific odor. I just don't like the idea of diluting the product, as I like it to do the job intended. However I know you can add solvents which dissipate over time.

I used the ting oil on an old totem pole in a front yard. It seemed to work well to seal the wood. You could thin it to extend the oil, but I would not thin it too much or you might loose some of the protection benefits. If it was my house with natural wood outside I would opt for using it in its thick concentrated form for maximum protection. This will be more expensive but protecting a house is the primary goal. Then when you redcoats in a year or two, you can start using a thined layers as a routine touch up. I only have limited experience with this product but it worked well for me with no toxic rags, mess etc. I used the ting oil on an old totem pole in a front yard.

First application should be s 50/50 mix to get max absorbtion.. it's really light colored oil so putting it on undelutted would be OK on next coats . I wanted my floor darker so I overcoated using Real Milk dark Tung Oil. Great product.

In my understanding is, if you apply it with solvamt it will go deeper into the pores. If you apply it without solvent it will settle only on the surface. I used the citrus solvent at the first application and did a second at full strength.

I didn't do any prep. I did make sure the wall was clean. I did spend about $20.00 on the glue and followed the directions on the glue jug. It is in my 7 year old granddaughters room and it still looks great. It was installed on drywall.

I used wood glue. Both pieces need to be fully coated and heavily pressed and weighted. Maybe spray is better but I haven't tried that method. Hope this helps.

I don't know why you couldn't. It's very heavy, stiff paper. You might want to use some heavy duty wallpaper adhesive. I would definitely do a "test" area first before doing all the walls.

Hi, I used 3m spray adhesive, the lowest adhesion (#77 I think, it took 2 cans) worked really well. It was just like puting up wall paper. Wipe the concrete down, let it dry, spray the wall starting at the top. Once the top is in place spray the rest of the wall from top to bottom and smooth from top down. If you get a wrinkle peel it back and smooth it out. When you tak it down, the wall cleans up with hot water.

Yes. Please use a metal container as it is very strong solvent. You MUST use the special roller coming from the package. Other roller will be melt very quickly. Please wear a good mask as smell is very strong and may be not good to your health. Mix half of paint + epoxy at a time so you can do two coats. Plan well where you will start so not corner yourself. Try to finish one coat from one end to the other. Do not overlay if possible as it will break your roller - dry really fast! Cannot be perfect, but try cover every area. If missed in first coat, pay attention on second coat (wait for 24 hours). The paint is sufficient (barely) for two coats. Good luck. Yes. Please use a metal container as it is very strong solvent.

It's pretty hard. A lot like alumalite in if you've ever worked with that. This is a crazy good product. If it's not working you're doing something wrong. Check to be sure you're mixing the 2 parts properly. This is one to one ratio I believe. I measure *by weight* not volume. Don't guesstimate. Also prep your surfaces and this is not a quick cure. Give it enough time to cure before you unclamp it.

Apply it OVER the mineral makeup and blend it well. The effect will not be good if you place makeup over it.

variety is the spice of life. Go for a couple of weeks with orange then back to handle. Also, I like the blue ones. They are a little firmer. The orange will make your forearms work a little harder.

Plaster of Paris is primarily for working with paper materials. If you test it with the carbon fibers or glass materials, be sure you have good protection on your hands. Water is always mixed with Plaster of Paris. It sets up very fast, so I advise to only mix what you plan to use right away. I think it is 1 c plaster of paris per 1 c water. Not sure. I haven't used mine in about 6 months. I tried it with cardboard, using newspaper strips over it. My next creation will be better, I am sure. Try googling for information on it. Whatever you make, consider using fire protectant on your finished project. It comes in a spray can.

Shake the product up well and apply it with a soft cloth. You don't have to do anything else. It should be absorbed by the wood.

We had to use acetone. It gets it off fingers/hands and the wood floor pretty well, but don't get it on white walls, we still have a yellow stain where it accidentally dripped.

Sure do! I did, and it looks great. Just dip in water for a few seconds, let it sit for I think a couple minutes, then apply it to a clean wall. Sticks very reliably. Mine still looks great after 5 weeks. Ill try to post a pic of mine.

I would use satin on oak. I use gloss on my dining table surface because I wipe it off so often and it lasts longer.

I used drywall / contractors glue. It worked great. Get the quick dry. I also painted them first. Too messy to spray paint in the house.

This product comes already prepasted and should stick to the orange peel paint. I would probably use additional wallpaper paste to ensure a stronger adhesion. You also want to make certain to let the walls thoroughly dry before painting and don't be alarmed if you have some bubbling when painting. This will pull back into place when paint dries.

How long it will last is dependent on how much oxygen gets to it as that is what polymerizes it. I would either move it to a smaller air tight container or top off the volume in the original container by using marbles or add either the citric solvent or mineral spirits if dilution is not a problem for your future applications.
