RE: OK time for the expert, haha!

That's REAL tung oil. The stuff you get at Home Depot and Lowes is actually rubbing varnish. Basically Varnish thinned out so you can rub it on, or brush it on with a brush and then wipe off the excess with a paper towel before it dries.. Avoids a lot of brush marks.

Just get some and try it on a piece of scrap wood.

Put on a lite coat and wipe off the excess with a paper towel. After it let it dry for a day then use 400 grit paper to gently rub off the bumps. Clean and repeat four or five coats or until you get the finish you like.

Just go try it before you mess up the radio.

If you have questions email me. I build furniture!!!! So I'm a little aware of how to finish stuff.
