Tung-Oil Available.

Hi guys,

we currently have some premium tung-oil that we imported from the UK in stock.





They are sold in small 30ml bottles for only $8.

Perfect for those who just need a small amount to coat a single neck or body.
No longer will you need to purchase a huge (read: expensive) bottle of tung-oil, only to end up using just a little bit of it and putting away the rest of the bottle, desperately trying to convince yourself that you might use it again someday.

Anyway, for the uninitiated, tung oil is made from the pressed seed from the nut of the tung tree. Tung oil is considered a drying oil much as linseed, safflower, poppy and soybean oil. When applied it provides a tough, highly water resistant finish.
Our tung-oil requires a curing duration of 6-hours.

To digress slightly, a few months back I sanded down the back of my neck to remove the slow and sticky finish. That resulted in the stripping of the paint and the revealing of the bare wood.
Tung-oil was used to coat the back of the neck, so as to prevent any moisture from our humid surroundings from seeping into the neck.


regards,
Phil
