Real Milk Paint, Pure Tung Oil for Wood Finishing, Cutting Boards, Outdoor Furniture, Butcher Blocks, Wood Flooring, Food Grade, Waterproof, 32 oz

I used the RMP Pure Tung Oil and Real Milk Paint Citrus Solvent to revive and protect a thick decorative wood cutting board and a butcher block work bench. Both were dry and in need of a finish upgrade. First the cutting board was in good shape but dry. The first few coats were applied with about 3 parts Real Milk Paint Pure Tung Oil and 1 part RMP Citrus Solvent which is also a non toxic food grade product that smells nice in the home although I did the work in my garage until complete. The second round of oil was added the next day mixed at 50/50 as recommended by the RMP people. I called them for application advice and how to go about handling the rags and leftover product. I used sponge brushes to apply and between coats I just put the brush in a cup covered in foil and did the same with the product. As long as it's a cool location below say 80 degrees the product would not suffer or diminish in quality over a few days. After 2 days and about 6 coats the cutting board came out absolutely amazing ! The finish darkened and the grain just pops so beautifully what an amazing transformation and the feeling is silky smooth and not too oily at all yet now it no longer feels dry, Perfect !!Next I did the work bench which was in need of some oil pretty bad. I applied three coats 50/50 mix waiting a few hours or until nearly dry between coats. The next day I did the same also mixed 50/50 and the bench darkend nicely but not as much as the cutting board but again after letting dry out by the third day the bench was completely revived and the finish is much more resistant to water or other spill damage. Both the bench and the cutting board are far better looking than new. In fact I should have done this to both when they were new. I purchased the 32 oz bottle of Tung oil and I have 3/4 of the bottle left so it really goes a long way. Great Product and Great Support for the RMP people.

Worked well and gave the wood a nice finish.

I added an acacia butcher block into the end of my kitchen island. I used 3 coats of the Real Milk Paint Tung Oil and I am very pleased with the finished look. I have attached two photos of the butcher block, one photo shows about half half of the butcher block covered in with the first coat of tung oil and the other photo is the completely finished butcher block withe the full 3 coats of tung oil. I left the tung oil on for 24 hours before each application. I applied the tung oil with a paint brush and wiped off any excess oil with a paper towel.Follow up: I accidentally ran a sharper than expected bread knife through a loaf of bread and the end of the blade put a deep cut into my butcher block counter. I was a little freaked out about how bad the cut looked but I immediately poured a little of the tung oil over the cut and rubbed it in with my finger, the cut immediately darkened and faded away...I can't even tell a deep cut was there, this stuff is awesome!

The quality and purity is exactly what you need, but DO YOUR RESEARCH! It's a lengthy process, but worth it. Great product.

Product is great. I mixed 50/50 with thinner and applied multiple coats for mahogany Butcher block. After purchasing from Amazon I saw the Rockler local store had a better price.

I have never been a handy sort of guy, but Tung oil is so easy to use that this project was a breeze. I'm finishing six bamboo poles for use in Shibari so they will get banged around a bit, being tied together and such. I sanded lightly with 320 sandpaper to remove any residue and applied the first three coats with 24 hours between each. It's just a matter of applying the oil liberally, letting it set for about an hour, and wiping off the excess. The first coat absorbed completely, but successive coats seemed to leave more oil on the surface. After three coats, I waited 48 hours between the next three, and 72 hours for the last coat. The oil darkens the surface and brings out the natural beauty of the material. It takes less than ten minutes for me to apply the oil to the six, two-inch by three-foot poles, and much less than that to wipe them down later. Perhaps fifteen minutes total. With seven coats that an hour forty-five for the whole project, but spread over ten days. I used less than half of the thirty-two ounces, so I have plenty left for repairs or other pieces I may want to finish. Tung oil is non-toxic so I didn't wear any hand protection. It's non-volatile so no breathing protection, and it smells rather pleasantly like peanuts. After, it washes off easily with a little detergent. As to how durable the finish is, that remains to be seen.

I bought an unfinished butcher block top kitchen cart and needed to protect the wood from kitchen spills and also from drying out from the heat. After much research for what the best product would be to do this, I decided to use Real Milk Paint Pure Tung Oil. Not only did it have the best price for the job it is food safe with low odor upon application.There are a lot of products that say " pure tung oil " but when you look closer at the list of ingredients it also includes others such as varnish or solvents. I still did it in a well ventilated area when applying as there is a bit of an odor but not offensive. It was way easier to apply than stain and will last longer than linseed oil. A small amount goes a very long way. I did not have to add anything to this product to get it to absorb for the first coat as some other reviewers had suggested. I was very happy with the way it covered and soaked in to my unfinished piece of furniture. I only had to apply two coats. I was very easy to tell when the wood had enough. I probably didn't even need two coats but it did make it a dash more golden in color. I am very happy with how quick it was delivered and half the price of similar products. I definitely would buy this again.
