How to Mix with Oil Finishes

Standard Mixing Ratios:

• HNF Concentrated Oil, Pure Tung Oil or Pure Linseed Oil: Mix 50/50 (1 part turpentine to 1 part oil) for traditional hand-rubbed finishes
• First Coat Application: Mix 60% turpentine to 40% oil for deeper penetration into bare wood
• Subsequent Coats: Mix 50/50 or reduce turpentine to 40% for build coats
• Varnish Thinning: Add 10-20% turpentine to reduce viscosity for easier application
• Custom Blends: Adjust ratios based on temperature, humidity, and desired drying time

Mixing Instructions:

1. Pour oil finish into a clean container
2. Add turpentine in desired ratio
3. Stir thoroughly to ensure complete blending
4. Apply mixture as you would any oil finish
5. Turpentine will evaporate, leaving the oil to cure in the wood

Cleanup Instructions

For Brushes and Applicators:

1. Pour pure turpentine into a clean container
2. Swirl brushes or applicators in turpentine to dissolve oil finish
3. Squeeze out excess and repeat with fresh turpentine if needed
4. Once clean, wash with soap and warm water
5. Reshape bristles/pads and allow to air dry completely

For Hands and Skin: Use soap and water. Do not use turpentine directly on skin for extended periods.

Solvent Disposal: Allow used turpentine to settle in a sealed container. Oil residue will sink to bottom. Decant clean turpentine for reuse. Dispose of contaminated solvent according to local hazardous waste regulations.
