Protection ability of pure tung oil and minwax paste finishing wax?

[Benjamin Hall]

How well would pure tung oil with a coat of minwax paste finishing wax, protect against moisture and sweat?

[John TenEyck]

Better than nothing but still not very well. You didn't state what it is you want to finish, but with no other information I think a wipe on varnish would be a far better choice. Doesn't matter much which one you choose, they all will offer far better protection against water, sweat, and bunch of other things, than oil and wax.

I sometimes finish jewelry and keepsake boxes with a combination of Watco Danish oil followed by Johnson's Past Wax. Watco has some varnish in it and will protect far better than straight Tung oil. Even so, I would never use that schedule on a piece of furniture that is subject to chemical or water damage or excessive wear.

[Howard Acheson]

As already said, neither wax nor pure tung oil individually or in combination are a very protective finish.

Really key to answering your query is what is the item you want to finish?
