Question 1

Is this product safe for food surfaces (e.g. is it what should be used on cutting boards)?

Accepted Answer

Per my bamboo cutting boards, if it is 100% (foodgrade)tung oil (it is nut based too by the way, in case of allergies) then yes! Although you will likely need to mix it with a 100% (food-safe) orange oil solvent.

Question 2

can it be used for wood floors?

Accepted Answer

I think a lot of people are starting to use tung oil, the real stuff- on floors.  I haven't used it on floors---just on walls.  The benefits are that it is pretty much non-toxic and does not emit harmful fumes as it dries.  It does smell a bit while drying, but it is not toxic.  It takes a long time to dry and gets harder over time...but is nothing like a polyurethane finish.  it can be easily spot refinished, but will not be as durable, or ever have a gloss like a poly finish.  If you are going to do a floor--make sure the floor is sanded and very clean.  Plan on applying a minimum of three coats...spaced maybe a week apart, with a very light steel wooling between coats.  It will be tedious and long--due to the dry and hardening time on each coat.  I think if done right, it will yield a very nice finish.

Question 3

Do I have to mix this in a ratio with some other compound (it says 32 to 12 in the title)?

Accepted Answer

No, but the first coat or two penetrate better if you mix in a little turpentine or d-limonine.

Question 4

Does this need to be mixed with anything like a solvent or citrus oil or can it just be rubbed on the wood as is?

Accepted Answer

It depends on what you're using it for and which coat you're on.

1st coat can be thinned to help further penetration. Use Citrus only on food contact items. Mineral spirits or Citrus for all others.

2nd Coat full strength or less thinning. 
3rd and sequential coats full strength.
0000 Steel Wool or Brass Wool prior to last coat.

That's one example of an application method. More experience with Tung Oil and the varieties of mixes and applications you'll find a preferred method/mix depending on what you're coating with it.

Hope that helps.
Cheers...
