Be real careful with the tung oil if you put more on.

A townhouse condo corp here let condo owners tung oil their front doors, provided them with the oil and cheescloth and rubber gloves with instructions.

Got a call on a Saturday night, the Platoon Chief says they've 2 fires in garages in the same complex in a day and a half. I go look, ask a few questions, both start in garbage cans. Then went door to door. Found 3 more garbage cans overheating, one starting to smoulder, no one home, broke the door open got it out before it caught the plastic can on fire. The cheesecloth soaked with Tung oil was causing spontaneous combustion.

Dangerous stuff if not handled properly, might be worse than linseed oil, the type I put on my axes. (The ones to cut wood, I'm a canuck eh?)
