I don't have experience with this, either, but another resource that may be available in your area is Palm Oil(although the macroeconomics of this product are terrible, environmentally speaking) - it may have better drying/hardening properties. Tung Oil would be the most close in regards to tropical source of oil, but it's usually expensive.
