Takes a bit more time to let the tung oil fully polymerize deep inside the wood fibers.

🖼️ Illustration Suggestion: A split comparison photo showing a board with a basic surface coat vs. a board treated with two deep-penetrating coats showing rich wood grain.

Coat 1: Saturation

Apply generously. Work into the grain and let sit for 30–45 minutes. Re-apply to any dry patches.

Coat 1: Wipe Dry

Wipe off 100% of the excess finish. Never leave liquid drying on the surface.

🖼️ Illustration: Hand thoroughly wiping down the surface with a dry towel.

Coat 2: Build & Polish

Wait 24 hours. Lightly buff with 0000 steel wool or a grey pad. Apply a thin second layer and buff completely dry.
