Anyone know how long Tung oil takes to dry and what the finish should look/feel like? I put 6 coats on some sapele (last one a week ago) and it still feels oily.

Maybe coats too thick? Polymerized solves a lot of the issues with drying problems. Did you cut it with thinner or put it straight on? Super thin coats are the way to go with Tung oil.

First four coats with cut with thinner, last two were pure but wiped down and maintained through the week with more wiping. The finish isn’t tacky, it just seems that touching the wood draws out oil or something!
