Varathane Spar Urethane is not spar varnish.

Note: If you mean Waterlox Original, it is a "fully cooked" tung oil phenolic resin varnish. It is similar to a Spar Varnish, but less oil is used in the formulation. It is a medium oil varnish,...

Sorry. This is not the Maloof Finish/Mix.

Formby's Tung Oil Finish is Tung Oil Alkyd Varnish, diluted with solvent. However, it doesn't contain raw or unassociated tung oil.
Note: When I ran the Reed Study (I'm a chemist), we couldn't find...

This is not true.

Which brand of spar varnish have you used?

Molecule size is not a factor.

* Zar Tung Oil Wipe-On Finish (Tung Oil/Polyurethane)

* Cabot Tung Oil Finish (Tung Oil/Phenolic)



Proof?

Formby's and Minwax are both are very quite about ingredients. Both of their MSDS' show the very minimum required by law. Their websites are vague at best. I assumed you knew that, my bad.

You've lost me.
Who is claiming to know what is NOT in Formby's Tung Oil Finish, yet offers no proof?
How do you know that I don't know a link exists?

Hi John:

I use Golden products (acrylic art paints, gel medium, vanish, etc.) in my studio. Their products are very high-end and not cheap. Their varnish is an evaporative , not a reactive...

Please prove this opinion with a reference.



Formby's is a true Tung Oil/Alkyd wiping varnish. It always has been.

Please prove your opinion with a reference.

So far I see nothing but...

Hi John,

It's good to see a fellow chemist responding here.

Have you actually used the Golden products?

1. A product that is labeled "Tung Oil Finish" is not "pure tung oil." There is nothing misleading about that.

2. "Tung Oil Finish" doesn' t mean an oil/varnish blend. Most of these products are...

Don't confuse "Tung Oil FINISH" with "Tung Oil". This is a CONTAINS versus IS problem.
Also, it appears to be a problem with not completely reading the label.

Chicken Soup is not chicken.

What is the answer?

Please post a copy or link to the MSDS that you are referencing.

This is NOT true. :(

I define harsh as denigrating the vendor and claiming deception in marketing when there is proof to the contrary.


Actually they do. Also, you can email them for an answer.

Nonsense!

Note: Fresh air movement does not increase the rate of polymerization of oil-based varnishes. The tiny amounts of oxygen removed from the ambient air during the curing process are rapidly replaced by...

"IS" versus "CONTAINS"

Minwax Tung Oil Finish (complete and proper name) is a Tung Oil/Resin wiping varnish (varnish diluted with solvent).
It should be treated as an oil-based varnish, when...
