2. Danish oil - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danish_oil

   Danish oil is a hard drying oil, meaning it can polymerize into a solid form when it reacts with oxygen in the atmosphere. It can provide a hard-wearing, often water-resistant satin finish, or serve as a primer on bare wood before applying paint or varnish. It is a "long oil" finish, a mixture of oil and varnish, typically around one-third ...

6. Drying oil - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drying_oil

   A drying oil is an oil that hardens to a tough, solid film after a period of exposure to air, at room temperature. The oil hardens through a chemical reaction in which the components crosslink (and hence polymerize ) by the action of oxygen (not through the evaporation of water or other solvents ).

8. Tung oil - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tung_oil

   Tung oil or China wood oil is a drying oil obtained by pressing the seed from the nut of the tung tree (Vernicia fordii). Tung oil hardens upon exposure to air (through polymerization), and the resulting coating is transparent and has a deep, almost wet look. Used mostly for finishing and protecting wood, after numerous coats, the finish can ...

9. Wood preservation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood_preservation

   Tung oil has been used for hundreds of years in China, where it was used as a preservative for wood ships. The oil penetrates the wood, and then hardens to form an impermeable hydrophobic layer up to 5 mm into the wood. As a preservative it is effective for exterior work above and below ground, but the thin layer makes it less useful in practice.
