[Greenbuilding] tung oil

[Gennaro Brooks-Church - Eco Brooklyn]

I have used Land Arc a lot and I'm on the fence. Great product but I still
like tung and citrus more.
Part of that is the preference for raw materials. I don't like to depend on
any one company for something.
For the same reason I don't think you need a priest to speak to god.
For example, humans have used clay on walls for thousands of years.
Now American Clay has a "proprietary blend". For smearing mud on the wall?

Another reason I like tung and citrus is there is genius in simplicity.

Nothing wrong with a meal from a master chef. But I once toyed with the
idea of writing a cook book from two ingredient recipes. Corn and butter.
Rice and soy sauce.

Anyway, you have found Land Arc oil to work better than tung and citrus?
