Is this actual Tung Oil or just a similar style?

Formby's is a blend. The label reads, "Formby's Tung Oil Finish is a high quality varnish made from a balanced blend of Tung Oil and other fine penetrating oils. Unlike other varnishes, lacquers, and shellacs, Formby's Tung Oil Finish penetrates wood, providing protection from the inside out." Also on the label, "it contains Aliphatic Hydrocarbons". This means it needs ventilation, and I really does. Also on the label it says that you should "not use it on any other finishes except on other penetrating oils". In other words not on painted surfaces, or shellacs, lacquers or finishes that just lay on the surface of wood, because a penetrating oil could not penetrate thru it. Formby's is a blend.

The MSDS (found on menards website) for this product states that it has 70% mineral spirits with a volatile volume of 77% (i.e. 7% other chemicals), so at most it probably has only 23% tung oil

This product purportedly contains "some" tung oil. Tung oil in its pure state is not a very durable finish. It is almost always mixed with other oils to create a "hand rubbed" finish. Formby's is a "wiping varnish" which, like most rubbed finishes, needs multiple coats to build up a real gloss". I use it for small "hand art" carvings as it has a nice feel once the 5th coat has dried. The more coats you do above that will just enhance the gloss and the hand feel of the object. I don't recommend this for surfaces that will be getting a lot of use, as it is just not meant as that kind of protection.

It has tung oil as the base but does have other oils in it. I assume it has a little polyurethane to give the high gloss effect.

I don't know, but I can tell you it appears authentic. I've gotten this from the dentist before, and all of the markings are identical to the normal opalescende. Even the lot number nomenclature is the same.

I've only used tung oil on virgin wood. Oils will lift-up most paints so I don't recommend it.

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.

Yes, I think it is a non-detergent oil. unfortunately I can't look up the directions to verify and post, as I do not have the bottle anymore.

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.

The oil i bought online did not smell like the oil i bought from salons in the past. I don't think it was the real thing, so i got a refund and threw it out. i guess you have to be careful buying it online. My seller was SAI Holdings.

I dont know, since the one I ordered was not authentic. I have thin wavy hair as well, and the original Oil treatment is fanulous.

No, there's no similarities , I think you should stick to your virgin coconut oil. I don't think it's 100% pure.

I would say it is more herbaceous. I don't find it an unpleasant odor but I could see how someone unfamiliar with the oil might be a little "put off" by the smell.

Yes it is. I use it regularly and I love it. It works great and doesn't leave greasy finish, just shine.

............ lolwutit's GF-5 Fully Synthetic. In the U.S. it's considered a blend, in other place it's a synthetic, that's just how it is in the auto industry. Why are you looking into buying this oil anyways?

It is what back home is considered a typical, mass produced live oil. I use it as the cheapest option while in the US. Hope this helps.

I have no way of proving the actual make up of this oil "BLACK SEED OIL" I would like maintain my trust in the company which actually makes this particular brand. After researching the oil through various health food stores, I felt confident the brand is in fact, genuinely pressed... Regaring the taste: I purchased this product ,the first time approximately one month ago. That was when I introduced my taste buds.... The taste is very pleasant. However, to answer your question pertaining the taste and differences purchase to purchase: Sorry,I have not an answer to your question.

To my knowledge quite similar. Non-greasy and not foul by any means! Again I got acquainted with the product in Australia!

I don't think there is a difference because the oil is the same golden brown shade in all the brands. I would prefer to buy it direct from Jamaica.

I have ordered borage oil from a couple of suppliers and it has all been pure borage oil. It will typically say "infused in Olive oil" if it's jot pure. I do like fushi's oils except they don't come with a dropper. They have a plastic barrier with a hole that makes measuring drops a little tough. All around I like their products.
