hi. i have been tung oiling the wood work in my home with great results. i also used the formby's high gloss on a desk and a few oher things. all look great. i mixed some minwax oil based walnut stain with some of the formby's tung oil finish and did the legs on an old table that we use in the dining room. i do not know what kind of finish was on it before. no way to tell that i know of. the table is probably 60+ years old. 18 hours later the finish is only now reached the tacky stage. one of the legs had been chewed on by a dog in the past. where the finish had beed chewed off the tung oil is compleyely dry. what do i do? wait and see if the rest dries out? strip it off and start over? what do i use to strip it off with? thanks james.
