Wax Finish for TUNG OIL

Any furniture paste wax. Trewax is nice, Minwax is nice, or you can get harder stuff like higher carnuba content, or softer with more bees by mail-order. Never used 'em, but some say the microcrystalline types are clearer.

would ensure that the Tung is fully polymerized by the time the waxgets there. Oil is a solvent for wax, and it leaks through from underneathin sunlight.

I have used a tung oil finish for years on furniture and now often with turning. I find plain old minwax and Johnson's paste wax just fine. They hold up forever and give a nice sheen. Quite frankly, I've bough expensive waxes and can't see any difference.

MinWax is as cheap as anything and pretty darned durable. We rejuvinated the hardwood floors in a rental we used to own. They looked great the night we did it and still did when we sold the house 1-1/2 years later. They did have a finish before our waxing but probably 50 year old varnish that had been carpeted over.
