Tung oil on rattan wicker furniture
Tung oil on ratan wicker furnitureReply: Yes, oil is good for rattan wicker furniture and tung oil is an excellent product. Unless you've found some specialized product that someone has managed to mix tung oil and wax to make a suitable product, tung oil doesn't have any wax content. Straight 100% tung oil is quite thick and could be more difficult to use on rattan, as it would be difficult to wipe the excess from between the strands. There are products, generally called tung oil finish, or something similar, that are 100% tung oil thinned with solvents that make it easier to remove excess with a dry brush method. Both types of tung oil are available at our catalog page Clear Finishes. The Rockler's 100% pure tung oil is totally tung oil without solvents and the Chinawood Deck Oil is tung oil with environmentally friendly solvents to thin it for easier use. After the solvents evaporate there is nothing left but tung oil. Chinawood oil is another name for tung oil, which was discovered and perfected in China several centuries ago. Pour the tung oil into a panIt's not too difficult to apply with a paint brush. If you pour the tung oil into a pan and use about a four inch paint brush it goes pretty quickly. Apply to the top surfaces first. Let it soak in for a few minutes, then using a dry paint brush remove as much of the excess as possible. Keep wiping the dry brush with a cloth or paper towels as you work. After the top is done turn the furniture upside down and apply to the underneath parts. Each time you remove the excess from the underneath side turn the furniture back right side up and check to be sure there aren't any dribbles on the top surface
