HOPE'S 100% Pure Tung Oil, Food Safe, Premium Waterproof Natural Wood Finish and Sealer for Indoor and Outdoor Projects,16 Fl Oz, 1 Pack

Functions fine so far it's very durable, with easy to use, easy clean up (just make sure you wash the rags out so there is not a fire. Because if you don't clean the dirty rags they can catch on fire). No noticeable stickiness, it seems pretty durable and no Jurassic color changes.

The bottle was bigger than I needed, but was the quality I wanted. It worked beautifully. Attached is a picture of a cutting board that I had sanded the previous finish off of. I sanded it until is was velvety smooth. Then I applied multiple coats of Hope's Tung Oil and it looks beautiful - just see for yourself! You need to allow a LOT of drying time between coats. I first had it drying in my garage, but then realized it was somewhat cool out there and it was taking a looooong time to dry. So, I brought it into my office and it went more quickly (uh... less long would be a better way to say that!). Anyway, if you are looking for a tung oil finish, this is a great product!

Last year we replaced most of our old plastic cooking utensils with wood ones -- teak and acacia. These work well but the initial coating, if any, wears off pretty quickly. I did some research online and found that Tung Oil is one of the best choices for keeping wood utensils sealed. It is plant-based and not a petroleum product like mineral oil. It's even supposed to last longer.Whenever our wood utensils start to look dry or porous I wipe on this Tung Oil with a clean cloth and let it soak it. I typically wait an hour and then either wipe off the excess or put on another coat. Then the hard part is not using them for a week or so while the oil cures. I just leave them sitting on a shelf. We have pretty much two sets of wood utensils so I can use the second set while the first one dries. I don't notice any smell or stickiness when I follow this approach.This one bottle will last for years. One application seems to last a couple months for the amount of cooking we do.

Most oils that I have used were a combination of tung oil, boiled linseed oil, and a petroleum solvent. This is pure tung oil. Instead of leaving a flat finish, this - using their directions - leaves more like a semi-gloss finish. May try wiping several times as it goes into the drying process to change the semi-gloss finish. This product really brings out the character of the wood. Directions say to remove the previous finish before applying this product. In most cases, this is impracticable. Have only tried on a few previously finished teak pieces so far, but will try on olive wood and oak. The inherent disagreeable odor of tung oil dissipates after several days. Do not know the durability of the finish since I was continually prompted to write a Review prematurely. Comes very securely wrapped in a plastic bag, so there is little chance of leaking in shipment. Selected this product because I did not want the who-knows-what plastic polymers of Watco, etc. Tung oil has been one of the components of the traditional wood finishing, and this seems to be an honest product. Depending upon my results, may choose this product again. Rating only 4* because I have not had a chance to fully test. So far, does appear to darken the wood somewhat overall in some cases, but this brings out the character of the wood and I do not find this disagreeable. May upgrade opinion as I use and test further. It is good that Amazon carries such a product, which is unavailable at any hardware or big-box store that I have gone to so far.

Great quality product, worked for my needs. Is more 'honey-like' and is best for coating flat surfaces such as cutting boards, newly made wooden furniture, etc, and not well suited for very intricately carved wood relief type carvings.

Used on my indoor teak dining room furniture. Goes on easy and made my 40 year old mid century modern table look beautiful! Very happy!

Used it for Butcher Block Countertop. After removing the stains with sandpaper, applied 3 three layers of Tung oil followed by two layers of Polyurethane, gloss finish. Shining and very easy to maintain.

Mineral oil tends to darken the surfaces to which it is applied, but this tung oil keeps the brightness of the different colored woods I use in my projects. The only negative is the potentially long drying time, but if I raise the work off the table and keep warm air circulating around it, the cure time is greatly improved. Cut with a citrus solvent, it goes on easily and has a pleasant smell. The finish is also hard and lasts a long time. This particular tung oil meets all my needs.
