Tips

When Tung Oil is applied to wood with an open grain, it may seep. In this case, dry wipe again if oil droplets are observed on the wood surface.

For a smoother and more even finish, lightly sand between coats with 600 or 800 grit sandpaper.

Use

  1. Dilute the first two coats of TUNG OIL with CITRUS SOLVENT at a 1:1 ratio (50% – 50%).
  2. Apply at a temperature above 15 °C.
  3. Ensure the wood is free from any previous finish and meticulously sanded with 100 or 120 grit sandpaper.
  4. Dust off using a vacuum cleaner.
  5. After sanding, it is recommended to clean the wood with PRATO PREP to remove dust particles, reduce tannins, and enhance colour intensity.
  1. Thoroughly mix with a stirring stick.
  2. Apply a generous coat of oil until the wood is saturated using a staining pad, a cotton cloth, or a staining applicator.
  3. After 15 to 30 minutes, remove any excess oil by rubbing the surface with a cotton cloth.
  4. Allow 24 to 48 hours for drying.
  5. Repeat all previous steps for subsequent coats.

Between coats, if the oil is diluted : 24 to 48 hours

Between coats, if the oil is undiluted : 48 hours

Use : 2 days

For regular cleaning : SECONDO CLEAN

The greatest advantage of oil in wood treatment lies in its ease of maintenance and repair. The key to well-maintained oiled wood is prevention. The longer the interval between treatments, the longer the longer the process will take. When SECONDO CLEAN and SECONDO MAINTENANCE products are no longer sufficient to keep your oiled wood in good condition, it’s a sign that it’s time to consider applying a new layer of oil.

Good general condition (Reduced liquid resistance) :

  1. Clean the wood with SECONDO CLEAN.
  2. Apply a coat of TUNG OIL according to the product instructions.
  3. No sanding or stripping required.

Good general condition (Stains or small damaged areas) :

  1. Sand the damaged area with 120-grit sandpaper.
  2. Apply three to six coats of TUNG OIL to the sanded area following the product instructions.

Medium general condition (Slight discolouration, multiple stains, reduced liquid resistance) :

  1. Clean the wood with SECONDO PREP.
  2. Apply several coats of TUNG OIL according to the product instructions.
  3. No sanding or stripping required.

Poor general condition (Severe discolouration, graying surface, no liquid resistance, many stains or damaged areas) :

  1. If cleaning with SECONDO PREP does not remove the stains and graying, repeat the initial procedure for TUNG OIL.
