believe that if you do get genuine 100% pure Tung Oil, it will take weeks, if not months, to dry
Not true unless it is applied over a varnish or sealed finish.
I avoid the paint store brands as they are not one hundred percent Tung Oil and contain sealers. You will get a sealed shiny finish after a few coats. If that is what you are going after, then it's fine.
I got mine from this place here in NH.

I cut it a bit with a mineral solvent and I rub it in by hand using a latex or similar type glove. It takes time but the result is worth it. These two woodworking supply outlets also will have a great selection of top quality stains perfect for refinishing stocks.
