Yep, some would. :-)The application of psychology is a scientific endeavor. You use empirically valid measures to make any determination.
BTW, Lee Valley sells their relabled Sutherland Wells Tung and Polymerized Tung oils in 250 ml, which I believe is just a little more than a half
pint.

Nope, save the gas. Here are 2 mail order suppliers (there are more, I
just can't think of any at the moment):
www.woodcraft.com Woodcraft sells their own private label pure tung
oil, just a re-package job from another company, I'd guess.
http://www.garrettwade.com/ Garrett Wade sells Behlen brand pure tung
oil, I use it and I like it a lot. They also sell a line of high
quality (and high priced) tung oil based finishes from Sutherland
Welles, of which some would argue are some of the best finishes out
there of their kind.
http://woodworker.com/cgi-bin/home.exe Woodworker's Supply also sells Behlen pure tung oil, and J.B. Moser tung oil finishes (more simialr to varnish). And they sell the Behlen's in a pint can as well as quarts,
so you cna buy small and see if you like it. I little goes a long way,
and the Behlen can wll actually suggest you can thin the oil with up to 4-parts mineral spirits if you want to.
If the product is labeled as "pure" or "100% pure" tung oil, and has a obvious nutty odor, then that is what you are getting, pure tung oil.
If it smells at all of a solvent/chemical, and is labeled something
along the lines of "tung oil finish", it MIGHT contain a smidgen of tung oil (maybe!), and is more likely to be nothing more than thinned down varnish that doesn't contain any tung oil at all.
Good luck.
Steve.

Does Lowes or HomeDepot normally carry 100% Tung Oil?
I didn't want to make the special trip if they didn't.

Yep, some would. :-)Please sign my petitions to bar Dr. Lyn Mangiameli from being contracted by the Judicial Council of California to conduct psychological evaluations. He previously made a false determination of competency without ever meeting or speaking with me. Dr.
