Half & Half (Tung Oil & Citrus Solvent) by RMP Co Finishes

A perfect blend of Pure Tung Oil and natural, food-grade Citrus Solvent thinner. We find that some projects require the thick viscosity of Pure Tung Oil to be thinned for better absorption into the surface. Half & Half is great for projects large and small, and this pre-mixed solution means less work for you. Half & Half makes for easier application with the same great protection properties of Pure Tung Oil. Enhance the natural beauty of your hardwood creations with Half & Half by RMP Co Finishes. This premium, hard-drying wood oil is perfect for finishing items made from our hardwood lumber, such as walnut and hard maple.  Half & Half by Real Milk Paint Co is FDA-approved for food contact, making it an ideal choice for kitchenware, cutting boards, serving trays, and even butcher block countertops. Tips for Working with Half & Half Avoid Sunlight: Do not apply or leave fresh tung oil in direct sunlight—it may flash cure and turn white and hazy. Do Not Sand Between Coats: Sanding works fine for tung oil varnishes, but not for Half & Half. Stain Before Applying: Use a water-based stain for color before applying tung oil.  No Oil-Based Sealers: Avoid using Half & Half over oil-based sealers, stains, or finishes. No need to thin: With Citrus Solvents already mixed in, no need for extra thinners for most projects. In some cases of very dense wood, extra citrus thinner can be mixed in. Number of Coats: Apply 1-2 coats for decorative pieces; 3-6 coats for surfaces with heavy use. Wait 24 hours between coats, apply until the wood no longer absorbs oil. Maintenance Coats: Thin coats can be applied as needed. Cleaning: Once fully cured (30 days), clean with hot water and mild soap—avoid harsh chemicals or acids.
