How much citrus solvent is needed (ratio) to cut pure tung oil to do a new pine floor?

I recommend looking at the realmilkpaint website. Confirm this for yourself, but the starting ratio is usually 1:1.

We use oil blends that have citrus in them and it works totally fine. We've not had any problems!

Yes! I highly recommend using this oil as it's one of the safest out there. This tung oil is used as a furniture treatment and a first time or after years of neglect or after sanding treatment. Not for a monthly or weekly treatment. Tung oil takes a long time to dry, and thats why it's so good for the wood.It needs to be used properly though. wipe it on, wipe it in, wipe it off, and let it dry! maybe 24 hrs or more, and wax afterward. It would be good for first time treatement. If you need a luster re-freash then I would use a lemon oil for furniture or something instead.Or just a wax product.all treatments will darken the wood. Teak doesn't need this type of treatment as it has it's own oil. Yes! I highly recommend using this oil as it's one of the safest out there.

that should be more than the amount you will need. you will want to cut that for inside use.

I would make a fure,if that is still possible, get the wood hot, then pour a couple scoops of Rutland,over the hot coals. The heat activates the chemical. You may have to build a couple of fires, until that creosote turns brown, then it is dried out

I'm not sure if Ennoble is speaking from experience or not, but apparently its quite common for stonemasons to use a mixture of tung oil and naptha to add a wet-stone looking finish to stone items (ie countertops, etc). Google for more info.

Label says 100% tung oil. I've used it before on unfinished wood and been very happy with the outcome. I am not such a great handyperson but it was relatively easy to use. Back warns of combustion risk.

I don't know what you are using it for, but check into using Tung oil? I know a maker of beautiful picnic tables and I believe he uses pure Tung oil, or Minwax Tung oil with additives.Randy

Shell Rotella #40 or 15W - 40 Motor Oil. Make sure the jackhammer is upright after filling, and look at the sight glass. Should be at the 1/4 mark.

I use mineral oil from the pharmacy isle on all my wood cutting boards. Rub some into the wood with a paper towel on all sides and let it absorb and dry. After a while you will be able to see when the wood needs more.

I usually use a 50/50 mix of pure tung oil and mineral spirits, just pour a bit on the wood and spread it with nitrile-gloved hands. Tung oil won't leave brush strokes as it doesn't dry into a film; it absorbs into the wood.

I wouldn't use tung oil. It's supposed to penetrate the wood fibers. With the milk paint, this won't happen. I'd suggest polyurethane. Wipe it on and buff with steel wool between coats. A final coat of spray-on polyurethane will give a nice finish.

I would start with 2 or 3, depends on how strong you want your mixture. Start with less and you can add more if needed.

When I used oil I only used a few drops. But I was using 100% lavender oil. So it got strong quick. So depending on the strength of the smell that you want and it also depends on what your making.

Dilute with water for anything you might be concerned with. I use it full strength to rrmove price sticker glue from glass and ceramics, and to remove pine sap from my cars. For everything else I dilute with water about 10 - 20 parts water to 1 part orange oil. It is easy to experiment.

I use a small mister which holds a little less than 1/2 cup water with instructions to use 3-4 drops of essential oils. I don't know that there is a set ratio, but more about personal preference. The more oil, the stronger the vapor/smell, so it's a bit of testing the number of drops of oil until it's right for you.
