Their pure tung product is called China Wood Oil. It's the traditional name for tung oil. It might be diluted with some sort of thinners, don't know, but otherwise pure raw oil.Quote:

When it comes to mixing Tung Oil with White Spirit, the tricky bit is to get White spirit. The name is used to describe different products in different places and I have been caught out. This web site discusses the names in relation to using it as a fuel - you might find it useful or add to the confusion...

I have always used turps for thinning, about 30% for first coat and 10% thereafter.
Thanks Jur about the China Oil, the cattledog says "containing pure tung oil".
I'll get my local guys to get some in and give it a whirl. I'm actually going to do my letterbox in Tung Oil just to see how it goes. My jarrah barbie is fairly exposed to the afternoon sun and sou-westerly weather and it has had Tung Oil (of what concoction??) on for four years. It is holding up well but gets a re-coat whenever I get guilty about it.
Cheers for the info.
