In Response To: Re: Pure Tung Oil? (kelly t)

: Bill,

: I recently posted a question on the qajakusa forum, asking how much varnish
: I'd need for an SOF. One reply I received mentioned that the builder buys
: polyurethane by the gallon, and immediately pours it into empty (new)
: one-quart containers, which he said only cost a dollar or so each. Pouring
: into small containers might be a solution to your oil problem, too.

: How long till the oil hardens in the can? I have a quart-size can of tung oil
: finish, which I am using on a frame and paddle, but I see I will not need
: to use the whole quart right now.

Hi Kelly and Bill,
Why not put the varnish or oil in something like some aircraft fuel tanks, the actual tank is a collapsable bag in the wing compartment. There used to be a babies bottle similar to that.
It would be handy for air sensitive liquids like varnish or oil.
