Samson Kamnik Pure Tung Oil, 1 l

Samson Kamnik 100% pure tung oil, 1 litre. It gives a durable finish that is highly water and alcohol resistant, suits all woods from kitchen worktops to garden furniture, and does not darken noticeably like linseed oil.

Pure Chinese tung oil is easy to work with and maintain and can be used on almost any wooden surface, indoors and out: furniture, floors, skirting, gates, play areas, worktops, musical instruments and food preparation areas. Once dry it is safe for food contact and can be used on salad bowls and chopping boards. It is also suitable for exterior oak and teak. One or two thin coats a year keep the wood looking fresh, and damaged or scratched areas are easily touched up with more oil.

Apply with a lint-free cloth (such as T-shirt material) or a good brush. On new wood, thin the first two coats up to 50% with Oranol, turpentine or white spirit to aid absorption, and apply liberally and evenly. Work the oil in with circular or figure-of-eight strokes until the wood stops absorbing, let it penetrate for 20-30 minutes, then wipe off the excess along the grain. Apply the third and later coats unthinned. 3-5 coats are recommended indoors and out. Tung oil gives a matt to low-sheen finish that can be lightly buffed with very fine (000) steel wool; take care on oak, where leftover fibres can stain the wood.

Most knocks, scuffs, cup and pan rings and stains such as wine can be removed by lightly sanding and re-oiling, blending in with the original finish.
