ok for outdoor furniture?

I suppose so... I put mine on indoor furniture....but It dries beautifully and leaves a hard coating. The best wood for Hope is, of course, teak or a very hard wood. My wood was so dry I wound up putting on several coats....it kept soaking in and disappearing. The bench I covered was a very old Thai teak log of some kind.

Can this be used on outdoor wicker furniture?

Hope's Tung Oil may be suitable for use on wicker furniture but we don't have first hand experience with it. I would recommend seeking additional information from a wicker furniture maker/expert and, if it makes sense, trying it on a small spot to see if you get the results you expect.

Can this product be used to seal stone?

Most stone's porosity is exceedingly low, so you're looking at only a surface coat with tung oil. Hope this isn't a fireplace, hearth, or firepit. What might work better is a (shudder) tung oil finish, which contains a littlevtung oil and a bunch of polymers. Might give you better UV protection so you wouldn't have to re-emulsify more as often (yes tung oil finish re-emulsifies; I've experimented with it, but not on stone). Try the internet, filters "tung oil and stone", and see what you get. Remember that just about anything you use will be flammable.

Do you have to dilute it? I'm planning on using it on teak. The salesperson said to dilute it because teak is so dense.

The salesman is correct. A 2:1 diluted solution (as recommended on the Hope label) will penetrate further into the wood, giving superior durability and a better looking result. On a dense wood like teak, you may even want to do the first coat at 4:1. Then continue with 2:1 coats until you are happy with the results, buffing with fine steel wool between each coat.More coats equals more work, but is worth doing for items like fine furniture. I put 5 diluted coats on an end table which looks great. But for the pepper mill in the kitchen I put on a single coat, undiluted. It looks good too, but I can easily see the difference if I set it down on the end table.

Great product! bought this to add finish to an unfinished bass guitar neck, went on great, wiped off excess next day repeat. did it 5 coats with a rub of 0000 steel wool between leaves the wood smooth and very play able. Note it does darken the wood slightly but looks great. very easy to apply and work with and has nice scent.

Como dice en la publicación 100% aceite de tung... Algo difícil de encontrar aquí en México... Lo he usado en proyectos de carpintería en específico con nogal americano. Y ha dado excelente resultados aplicado de la manera correcta. Una pena que hayan elevado el precio lo adquirí en $263.00. Buenas compras

Bought this to freshen up a wood lantern that has been outside on my porch in the weather. The wood had become very dry, light in color, and unattractive! I cleaned the wood first, then applied two coats of this tung oil, 24 hours apart and it looks like new. Amazing stuff! The lantern is now being used in my living room and looks great! Going to use it on a front porch bench next!

When my father passed away, I inherited two of his guns. They hadn't been cared for very well for sometime, and I wasn't sure it the wood could be to restored and treated as it warranted. I followed the directions to the letter, respecting the power of this product and was rewarded with a luster, vitality, and sheen of the natural wood on the firearms to that have brought compliments from everyone that I have shown them to. This is a serious product that responds wonderfully with the requisite level of respect and following the directions as clearly defined. A wonderful product that does as it says.
