Tung Oil
Experience the natural beauty and protection of Tung Oil for your interior wood surfaces. Our Tung Oil is specially formulated to enhance the unique characteristics of wood while providing a durable and long-lasting finish. Made from the extract of tung tree nuts, this oil penetrates deep into the wood, highlighting its natural grain patterns and creating a rich, warm, and inviting look.
With its excellent moisture resistance and ability to resist stains and general wear and tear, our Tung Oil helps preserve the beauty of your wood furniture, cabinets, doors, and trim. It dries to a smooth, satin-like sheen that not only adds visual appeal but also offers protection against everyday use.
Applying Tung Oil is a breeze. Simply brush, wipe, or spray it onto the wood surface, allowing the oil to soak in for 15-20 minutes. Wipe off any excess oil and repeat the process for additional coats. The more coats you apply, the greater the level of protection.
Choose our Tung Oil to enhance and protect your interior wood surfaces with a natural-looking finish that ages gracefully over time. Transform your space with the beauty of Tung Oil.
Note: Tung Oil is not food safe and should not be used on surfaces that come into direct contact with food or beverages.
