I thinned the first coats of Tung oil when finishing my frame. The undiluted last coat I let dry for 24hrs however the oil in the joints, here the dowels that hold the ribs in place, were not dry and when I sewed on the nylon it bled into the fabric. Stain doesnt penetrate as well and you get a patchy colour. Let it dry as long as you can.
