Glaze Effects Glazing is the application of color over a pre-sealed or non porous surface. Most often associated with paint, ceramics or marble to add interest to an otherwise un-interesting surface.

Tung Oil

Polymerized tung oil isn't a synthetic its generally heated tung oil, but some will use chemicals.  Tung oil polymerizes naturally as it dries, but the heating process to polymerize tung oil takes care of the polymerizing in advance so the polymerized tung oil will dry faster and harder and is more viscous.  The polymerized tung oil gives a gloss finish.

It's similar in theory to raw linseed oil and boiled linseed oil, but they're different types of oils

In a nutshell, 100% tung oil is good ( the chinese used it for centuries ), but slow drying and has a matte finish.  Polymerized tung oil dries much quicker, is harder and has a gloss finish.

100% tung oil is available here as well as a product called Chinawood Deck Oil. Chinawood oil is another name for tung oil. The Chinawood Deck Oil is polymerized.
