Hello all,
I am refinishing the stock and forend on my Ithaca 37 DSPS with straight tung oil (made by minwax). I have put one coat on and buffed and it seems a bit sticky still after nearly a day of drying. I plan on putting several coats on over the next few days, but I am worried that it will stay sticky. Does tung oil ever dry to a point where it feels truly dry, or does it keep some stickiness? I have somewhat sweaty hands and would find it really annoying if it stayed sticky even after it is dry. If it does stay sticky, can anyone recommend something to put over it that will eliminate this problem.
Thanks for any help.
