This item is for [[weatherproofing]] instruments.

{{com|study}}:<br>
The tung oil can be applied to some musical instruments to provide limited protection from modest amounts of water and weather such as rain or snow. No amount of tung oil could protect an instrument from water that's deep enough, however! Ideally, the tung oil buys you time if you're caught in a storm unexpectedly, but it will be worn down over time and require further applications. Depending on the quality of your weatherproofing agent and the thickness it is applied to on your instrument, appropriate levels of water may be fully repelled or at the very least slow the rate of accumulation and thus damage done to your instrument over time. The quality affects the maximum that can be applied, how much is productively added with each application, the speed of the application process, and ultimately how often it will need to be reapplied to maintain suitable protections.

This particular tung oil appears very poorly prepared and has 20 uses remaining.<br>
[There are many types of weather protection for instruments -- varnishes, lacquers, etc. The names are merely cosmetic and don't match to particular instrument types or materials.]
