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.

This product absolutely made my laundry room remodel successful, using it on the butcher block countertop. It gave an amazing natural look and I love that when it begins to wear over time, I can simply add more (instead of having to take the counter out to the garage, strip, and restain.) High quality consistency, no leaking issues with the container, product adhered to the wood as expected, and I was impressed with the outcome.

Years ago my mom gave me a handcrafted wooden spatula she made. I like the way it feels in my palm and works when I'm mixing things. She told me she coated it with Tung Oil, so I made sure to get some after I got the spatula. I grossly overestimated how much I would need and bought a 32 oz. containing from Real Milk years ago. The last time I went to use it for my spatula, it had dried up and was a firm jelly consistency. This time I bought an 8 oz. container. It seems thinner than my original purchase ever seemed -- I like that. Over the years I've burnt the edges of my spatula using it for mixing toffee at Christmas. I'm stopping that now and am working on concentrating the tung oil on the burnt ends of my spatula. I pour a little bit over the ends, onto a piece of plastic wrap, then coat the area a bit and follow the instructions from there (repeating several times). It's working and the burnt ends don't seem as dry anymore. I did a little bit of sanding to smooth down some ruff bits. Oddly enough, I like the smell of the tung oil and it helps keep my spatula in good shape year to year. I give it an application of the oil about 2x a year. I've also used it on our pine cabinets in our bedroom, where cats have made scratches. I just put a little bit on a rag and rub it into the scratches and later rub off any residue. It either makes the scratch invisible or darkens it a bit if the scratch is deeper. That is preferable to me rather than a white, ugly scratch.

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!

Really good stuff. Smells great. A nutty-woody pleasant aroma. Drys slow, but well worth the effort. Refurbishing one old end grain butcher block and a fairly new edge grain carving board. Had to sand down the butcher block, It was really thirsty. Just take your time between applications and wipe off the excess after it has plenty of time to absorb. The first few applications did not require this. It all soaked in. Finished off with a home made concoction of coconut oil and beeswax. Both came out great. It was difficult to control dispensing the oil from the gallon size. So, I poured a small amount into a small jar with a lid. Then I could apply it to the cloth and board much easier. Labeled everything so I would not mix it with my other oils. The butcher block is round. So I put it on a lazy-susan for both sanding and oiling. It gave it 4 stars, partly because I rarely do 5. and the real test is now. How well it will last and protect the wood.

Need to find a way to seal and protect a elevated planter bed that I made from scratch. My problem was that since I planned on growing food crops in the bed, I did not want to use chemical sealants such as Thompson's. After about a month of research, I settled on using this Tung oil. The oil itself is very easy to apply and has a pleasant smell to it. The untreated cedar that I used looked amazing after I put the tung oil on. You will have to put on multiple coats to get a good seal as per instructed on the bottle. But the extra time, is well worth it when you've spend so much time and energy creating a great wood piece. After using the bed for about 6 months filled with dirt and getting watered daily, I decided to swap out all my dirt and clean out the box. I was very pleased that there was ZERO rot and the wood still had a look of being treated with the oil. I would highly recommend this product to anyone that needs to protect their wood creations and wants an all natural means of doing so.

I refinished a dry, faded out redwood picnic table (photo on Right side) with The Real Milk Paint Company 100% Pure Tung Oil and Mineral Spirits, mixed in various ratios from 30/70, 40/70, then final coat of 50/50. Thats 30% Tung oil, 70% mineral spirits, etc. The Mineral Spirits helped to carry the Tung oil into the fibers of the wood, where it begins to harden and become part of the wood, every 3 days we increased the ratio of Tung oil, and applied it with a foam brush in very thin coats, then wiped it from with cotton rags after 40 minutes and let it cure in a well ventilated room with fans to circulate air. Final coat allowed to cure for 30 days. We will continue the final coat yearly to maintain the waterproof finish. Time intensive but worth it. Keep in mind Tung oil hardens in the wood fibers, it does not dry. Very supportive customer service as well. Beware that most products say “tung oil finish” but read the label, there is no tung oil in it at all, case in point is Minwax. I asked hardware employee for Tung oil and he showed me Minwax, when I asked him to show me on the label where it said tung oil in the ingredients he was shocked there was none. Canadian woodworking magazine had a great article by Cynthia White that will teach you everything you need to know. Research is the key because there is so much misinformation out there. TAKE YOUR TIME has to be your mantra to work with Tung oil. I’m so very happy with the results of our family picnic table, which I was lucky enough to work on during my Hawaiian vacation at my cousins house in Honolulu.

I do a lot of woodworking, and over the years have found that for most projects, I prefer Tung oil over anything else. Polyurethane is my second go-to finish where toughness and a layer of protection over the wood is needed, but Tung oil is very protective as it penetrates well and forms a waterproof barrier in and on the wood. It is the most attractive finish I have found in terms of revealing the beauty in the wood. It requires patience though, since a good finish requires several coats, wiped out to very thin layers, which must dry a few days before adding additional coats. I find it foolproof though, and simple to use, just straight without 'thinning', which isn't at all necessary for proper penetration when rubbed in well. It is simple to maintain as well, with a.freshening wipe on and off maybe annually, depending on use. It will provide a semigloss surface layer if you have the patience and time to build the coats up, and polish them out over a month of time.

I spent so many hours trying to find the perfect seal for my garden beds! So glad I found it! I am an organic gardener, and needed something natural to protect the wood. The picture and video is after 2 coats to cedar wood. Every year I plan to add another coat. It makes it water resistant and gives it a beautiful look. Would definitely reccomend to any gardeners out there. This is most definitely food safe! Oh and I still have a lot of oil left after two coats so I got my moneys worth. Thinking of finishing a coffee table with it.

Purchased the tung oil as a finish to an outdoor cedar planter I made. It worked great and left the wood with a beautiful color. It went on well - used a paintbrush. Applied 2-3 coats. It does take a while to soak in and dry out. The planter has only been outdoors a few weeks now so can't comment on the long term durability of the product, but I'm happy with it so far!

Using to seal concrete countertop. Use as directed.
