The main difference between BLO and Tung oil, is BLO requires heat to cure/dry....Where as Tung oil, relies on oxygen to cure..
Which brings me to a possible problem, skinning on the surface, I've got a 1 gallon can ( with cover) that I am using, by keeping the can full and covered, skinning has not ( as of yet) been an issue, it's been almost a month.. so far so good..

A good run is better than a bad stand!
