I painted my dresser with black milk paint and I need to put something over the paint. Will 100% tung oil work or will it pull the paint up.

I wouldn't use tung oil. It's supposed to penetrate the wood fibers. With the milk paint, this won't happen. I'd suggest polyurethane. Wipe it on and buff with steel wool between coats. A final coat of spray-on polyurethane will give a nice finish.

I really don t know but I believe the tung oil is only used on stained or natural wood -I don t think it could be absorbed into the wood with a paint finish prob just puddle on top.

I've only used tung oil on virgin wood. Oils will lift-up most paints so I don't recommend it.

It would definitely work on softer, cloth lamp shades. It may just run on harder lamp shades with no material to absorb the paint. It has a very liquid consistency.

I'm sure you're talking about thinning the tung oil with the solvent when you say cut it. It will still be fairly thick. I just used a two inch sponge brush to apply and I did not wipe it at all. A little goes quite a long way if you wipe it with a rag you'll just absorb it into the rag and ultimately waste it. I highly recommend using the real milk paint solvent if that's not what you had in mind. The people at Real Milk Paint can easily be found online for advice.

Not sure if this will help, but I used it over wood that had polyurethane on it that I didn't sand off...it stayed wonderfully (and actually required less coats). It's made to stick on top of a material (like laminate). If your oiled wood is older, and/or you sand it down well, it would probably stick. Otherwise, if it doesn't work, you might be surprised about what else you can think to use it on! A little can goes a long way, so maybe just try the smaller size! I love this stuff!

The can doesn't say much. I lightly spray a Swiffer duster and it attracts the dust and does't leave a shine on furniture. It says it aids dusting. Is not a furniture polish. I think it enhances the ability of the Swiffer because I think they are pretty useless without this spray. www.fuller.com may give you more info.

It works really well, and unlike some of the alkaline enviromental strippers (like Peel Away 7) it won't darken the wood. If the paint is many coats accumulated over decades, it may require a second application to get it all.

In the western world no one has used more of this paint than me...you will be fine if don't make the mistake of using the "Universal" formula which is meant for plastics..buy an extra can or two..it is very useful...cheapest at Walmart. I've done desks, chairs, mirrors, lamps and two refrigerators...good luck

You should be able to use it over paint provided the painted surface is smooth without chips or cracks. If it is not smooth, the stain will look different on places where it touched wood vs. places where it touched paint. Depending on the color of the paint it might impact the color of the stain too. It won't show up very well on black paint, for example. Honestly, i would just use paint over paint but you can always do a small patch of the door to test.

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.

I have only heard of tung oil being used on wood . I would not use it on stone .

It should work for the finish carpentry and upholstery,I think it will work for the paint but i am not sure about that.

I think as long as your furniture is not sealed or lacquered it should work. If it is sealed then the oil will not penetrate and will just sit on the surface.

Not sure, but I have found it makes wood look really nice. I used it on some old wooden spoons. really spiffed them up. One thing I have found is it tends to bring up the grain. And if you are going to use it on the whole dresser, it's going to take a lot of the product. Hope this helps.

Please use extreme caution with this product. It will not last as advertised. And could make the problem worse. If there is a true mold a 2 to 1 mixture of bleach and water could work. Use gloves and watch you do not get any on your clothes. Try a small spot first to see how it responds. Although I think a simple cleaning and repaint to exact match is how I would handle it. It could be a simple matter of wax build up, and then all you need to do,is get a old tooth brush and soapy water and be carful to watch your paint. Good luck,!

Don't know, the piece I cleaned didn't have grease or oil stains. I used it to remove the gray patina that happens to teak when left out in the elements!

It will depend on the finish on your wood. If it is not lacquered or varnished, this oil will still do a good job cleaning but will sit 'on top (i.e. not penetrate the wood's pores. If the wood is not sealed, the oil can penetrate into the wood (which is what it needs and you want to happen) and will lighten back up as it dries and balances on the grain after you have applied it a day or so (depends on temp. and humidity). I have tested unknown wood the first time on the inside of the doors to be safe, but this is an awesome quality product and I find it works best if I apply it to a soft cloth and not directly on my antiques or tables, etc. Good luck!

I cut the first two coats with mineral spirits by 50%. After that, straight tung oil. Depending on the wood, you may cut it the whole time.
