low end fuzz Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 wet sanding in between coats of tung oil? would water interfere with the curing of the oil? just like laquer, the coats would be dry; but...... this should actually be in the finishing section; sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattia Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 Use either oil or, if you're trying to level-sand, mineral spirits. Not water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
