I buy oil from an art store usually. I do not request tung oil, just oil. A very good local paint supplier sells it but their smallest container is bigger than I like. I like a 4 ounce bottle.

The last thing you want is pure oil with the consistency of honey. It should be very thin and runny.

I add a commercial drier.


Interesting about the thickness. I recently picked up a bottle of refined linseed oil from an art store. Is this the same stuff you are talking about?
