We are about to lay the earthen layer of our floor... on the order of 400 square feet.
We plan to finish it with pure Tung Oil, and will be prepared to thin it 25-50% with citrus solvent for the first coats, if needed.
I find sites that list Tung Oil as an alternative to linseed, but I can't find anyone who has actually used pure Tung Oil.
We have 5 gallons and I'm wondering if that is likely to be enough. Also just would like to know everything about an experienced person's experience with it! How well it went on, how it cured, how long, etc. We have loads of resources on how to oil a floor, but none of them used pure Tung Oil specifically.
(We are using Walrus Oil's Tung Oil)
(cracks me up that spell check keeps capitalizing Tung Oil -- I'm suprised it isn't adding a TM after it. And looky there, it doesn't bother to spell check my typo on surprised.)
