Product Information
Full details
Liberon Quick Drying Tung Oil is designed for woodworkers and DIY enthusiasts seeking a high-quality, protective finish for both interior and exterior timber surfaces. Its primary benefit is a rapid four-hour recoat time, which significantly speeds up project completion compared to traditional, slow-curing oils. While it provides a durable, moisture-resistant matte finish, users should be aware that it requires multiple coats for maximum protection and must be cleaned up using white spirit rather than soap and water.

Is it safe to use on food preparation surfaces?
While it is resistant to food acids, always consult the specific technical safety data sheet if you intend to use it on surfaces in direct contact with raw food.
Troubleshooting
The finish feels sticky after four hours
The ambient temperature may be too low or the wood was oversaturated; wipe away excess oil with a clean cloth and allow more time to cure.
Streaks or uneven appearance
Ensure the oil is wiped off uniformly after penetration; if streaks persist, lightly sand the surface once dry and apply a thinner, more even coat.
Brushes are stiff after application
Clean tools immediately after use with white spirit to prevent the oil from hardening in the bristles.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before applying the oil, ensure the wood surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or previous finishes. Sand the wood surface until smooth and remove all sanding dust. Apply the oil using a lint-free cloth or a brush, working in the direction of the wood grain. Allow the oil to penetrate for a few minutes and wipe off any excess. Wait four hours before applying the next coat. For final protection, allow the piece to cure for 24 hours. To maintain the finish, simply clean with a damp cloth and reapply oil as needed depending on usage intensity. Clean all brushes and cloths with white spirit immediately after use.
