Is it still continuing to dry? I'm 5th generation paint/hardware store and I've never heard of Tung oil, though I've sold a lot of linseed oil in my lifetime. How long does it take to fully harden? I mean is it days, weeks, or sometime next year?
It hardens on exposure to air, but how long it takes I have no idea...

Yea, it's still got a slight tack to it. I will probably feel dry/cured in another week or two. But It may not fully cure clear to the bone till maybe end of summer. I used Hopes 100% Tung off Amazon. I had a half gallon and augmented with a couple more quarts off Amazon. I really just wanted to keep a natural wood look and keep it low main for the future. But, yea, I guess If I lived where it's humid it could take longer. But I factored that in, and my final coat was pretty thick!
