How to Dry Tung Oil
- 1). Apply an even coat of tung oil to the wood according to the directions on your particular product. Depending on the type of tung oil you have, you may need to dilute it to give it a thinner consistency.
- 2). Wipe off any excess oil that drips down the surface of the wood with a paper towel. If you do not wipe drips off, they may form into hard bumps that can be difficult to remove.
- 3). Place the wood in a clean, dry and well-ventilated area for 24 hours or until the oil no longer feels sticky. The wood should be placed so it sits flat to ensure the oil stays in place and dries evenly.
