: Brian's on the forum, I think he should answer this. Not sure why
: you'd want to do this, adding more tung oil is really pretty
: simple, scrub the surface with 0000 steel wool and add more oil.

: Bill H.

Thanks for the steel wool advice. After adding my first coat of pure tung oil I got second thoughts about having a pure tung oil finish. Durability is a concern after seeing how soft RWC is. If it ends up not being recommended then I'll just try the oil and varnish mixture on my next paddle.
