Does tung oil have any smell/odor? Either while wet or after it has dried? Thanks!

It does smell while wet...like a weak spicy turpentine, it is not bad. When dry it has no odor whatsoever, but it can take a few days to fully dry. It is the least caustic finish I have ever used.

I have been using mine for over a year and, while I've had other problems with it, it has never produced a "wet dog" smell. However, it could be that humidity contributes to such an odor and I live in New Mexico where it's arid.

Tung oil would be a great finish for a baby's crib. I would advise at least two coats, apply and then hand rub and then let dry for a week or so before using....tung oil dries very slowly, but the results are fabulous and non-toxic. I have used tung oil on most all of the wood panel walls in my house and love the results.

They do not recommend diluting it. It is fairly thick, more like Karo syrup. The smell goes away after about two days. What I don't like is the semi-gloss finish it puts on things, but when I try next will try repeated rubbings as it dries. Of course, since since this is 100% tung oil, you can act as your own "blender" and mix it with boiled linseed, and a solvent to get it back to a more common teak oil.

No, this is an oily liquid. The smell would not make a nice scent. It smell like burnt wood. Hopes this helps.

Label says 100% tung oil. I've used it before on unfinished wood and been very happy with the outcome. I am not such a great handyperson but it was relatively easy to use. Back warns of combustion risk.

No it does not smell at all. I have used it for a while and as long as it is dried after every use it is fine.

It is 100% tung oil. No additives. The warning label on the back addresses how to dispose of the rags you use to apply it.

At least according to the label it was pure Tung oil, it feels natural. I don't remember the warning.

No! This is 100% tung oil. However, if you want deeper, faster penetration, you can dilute it, but I prefer a light coat with dry time in the sun for better results.

It's unscented but smells of its ingredients: tea tree oil and lanolin. Pleasant, unoffensive odors.

I have not needed to clean it when using different oils as I find there is so little liquid left after the cycle is done. I just dump out the leftover water/oil and have not noticed much with any residual oil/smell when I put the next oil in it.

It doesn't really have much of a smell. It is an oil with a light fresh smell. If you had a blind fold on you wouldn't know it was coconut if that is what you are asking. I do not even like the taste of coconut but I can eat the oil with a spoon by its self if I am in a hurry and just want to make sure I get my daily dose.

Orange Oil has it's own smell. I see no reason for you to try. I have used it on wood and have had no problems. I really like the product.

First let's qualify my response, I am an electrical engineer not a chemistry engineer. My personal observation and use is: The oil doesn't have an odor (something I noted in reviews about other brands) and would be a giveaway if olive oil, or such, were in it, the viscosity is too high to have been diluted with any cooking oils I have seen. It's pretty close to colorless/clear. I hope this helps a bit.

Yes! I highly recommend using this oil as it's one of the safest out there. This tung oil is used as a furniture treatment and a first time or after years of neglect or after sanding treatment. Not for a monthly or weekly treatment. Tung oil takes a long time to dry, and thats why it's so good for the wood.It needs to be used properly though. wipe it on, wipe it in, wipe it off, and let it dry! maybe 24 hrs or more, and wax afterward. It would be good for first time treatement. If you need a luster re-freash then I would use a lemon oil for furniture or something instead.Or just a wax product.all treatments will darken the wood. Teak doesn't need this type of treatment as it has it's own oil. Yes! I highly recommend using this oil as it's one of the safest out there.
