Hi,
Just a quick question. I have been doing some experimenting with some different finishes on scrap pieces of wood, and was wondering about the tung oil. I'm playing around with some pure and polymerized pure (not the "tung" finish stuff). Now, everywhere I have read, they say to remove the excess with a clean rag, but I have never really heard, how much do you actually remove? I know its not a film building finish so you don't want to leave a nice wet coat, but on the other hand, after a few coats its not really absorbed much anymore and with a good rub you can remove all the fresh oil.
So, do you give it a quick light wipe leaving a slightly shiny film on the surface, or do you give it a good buff with a rag and take it all off?
Thanks!
Matt
