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

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.

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!

Used on a raised planter. Brushed on just fine, wiped after an hour and applied a 2nd coat. Went through the entire bottle. Time will tell if it prevents the wood from rotting

Great product delivered fast

Many monts ago, I used this to finish some wooden items I made for my kitchen. They get daily use and have held up beautiifully. As it says, wipe it on, let it soak in, wipe it off, let it dry. Follow the directions and give the items time to dry. Hightly recommend for finishing wood of any kind.

I use this for making my own Waterlox finish . 5 parts tung oil but has to be pure tung oil without additives, 1 part polyurethane ( oil based) and one part mineral spirts. Gets good penetration into the wood to seal it . Polyurethane adds durability. Mineral spirits as the diluent. More can be added if want thinner but really not needed. Cures in a few hours. Leaves a great wood grain finish that can be washed without loss of luster.

Arrived quickly and we'll packaged. Just used it today. Went on smoothly, was thicker viscosity than I expected. We'll see how We'll it works

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.
