Review on HOPES Furniture Natural Moisture Resistant by April Andrews

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fresh and excellent quality

This tung oil was very fresh. It flowed beautifully and was easy to use. Some tung oils are too thick and smell rancid when you first open the container. Not this one. He quickly dove into the forest. It dries fairly quickly (walkable after 24 hours) and cures to a good cure in a few weeks. The oil protects the wood much better than the previous polyurethane coating. It doesn't make soft wood harder (never mind). However, the dents, dents and scratches that softwoods like pine get from rough use don't show the millions of scuffs and scratches that polyurethane causes. If a scratch breaks through the tung oil coating, it can easily be touched up with a cotton swab. freshly mixed shellac). It was so good that I could use it for drawing. That's the greatest compliment I can imagine.
