Patrick, is there a temperature you should shoot for/avoid because of flammability, or do you just want to warm it enough to aid in penetration? Pure tung oil is available locally. I looked at the BLOicon I had and you are right on the money. Protection of gardening equipment. I guess I'll use it on my shovel handles!
