1 Sutherland Welles Ltd. INSTRUCTIONS WOOD TURNING Helpful Hint! Many wood turners will choose High Lustre for more protection. The higher percentage of Polymerized Tung Oil reduces the number of coats needed and helps control the sheen level.

2 Original Formula & Botanical Polymerized Tung Oil These two lines are all Polymerized Tung Oil with no resin fortification. The difference in the two formulations is the solvent. The Original Formula is a petroleum solvent and the Botanical is our proprietary citrus solvent, Di-Citrusol They can be used interchangeably. The solvent becomes airborne and dissipates leaving the exact same oil in and on the wood. It is more a consideration of what type of solvent you want to work with as a personal preference or an environmental concern. Push finger tips against the grain of the wood. If they glide easily over the surface, you are ready to apply your next coat. - Apply Wiping Low Lustre

3 Millie s All-Purpose Penetrating Tung Oil Millie s is the lowest toxic finish we formulate using our Polymerized Tung Oil Low Lustre, our proprietary citrus solvent, Di-Citrusol and beeswax. There are no chemical driers in Millie s. This is the coating that is most often used for salad bowls or food contact applications or when there is a known sensitivity to petroleum based finishes. The lack of chemical driers in Millie s allows complete saturation of the wood producing only a matte sheen. Brush: Any brush Cure Time Allow 72 hours to fully cure Matte Sheen Instructions - Wait 6-8 hours let fully saturate - Wait hours let fully saturate - Wait 24 hours let fully saturate Surface should be really sticky. - Wait 5 min. until liquified - Buff surface with coarse steel wool - Polish surface w/ clean & dry terry cloth Cure Time Allow 72 hours to fully cure

4 Wiping Varnish The Wiping Varnish is formulated with an equal amount of Polymerized Tung Oil and urethane resin with a petroleum mineral spirit solvent. Used for wood turnings where more sheen or protection is required with fewer applications. This finish provides a traditional oil feel. Push finger tips against the grain of the wood. If they glide easily over the surface, you are ready to apply your next coat. - Apply Wiping Varnish Low Lustre - Apply Wiping Varnish Low Lustre - Apply Wiping Varnish Medium Lustre - Apply Wiping Varnish Medium Lustre - Apply Wiping Varnish High Lustre - Apply Wiping Varnish High Lustre

5 Murdoch s Hard Sealer & Hard Oil This option features the Botanical Polymerized Tung Oil with a urethane/alkyd resin added. The solvent is our proprietary citrus solvent, Di-Citrusol. Like Wiping Varnish, we recommend this for turnings that need extra protection or more sheen with fewer applications. While the finish looks like an oiled surface, the feel is harder because of the resin combination and the reduced amount of Tung Oil. The cure times tend to be shorter making it a favorite for commercial applications. Lightly sand several inconspicuous areas. A fine, white powder indicates that you can safely apply another coat.
