Could you just thin the wiping varnish and use it as a sealer?

Hi,
I've used it quite a bit. It is a mix of polymerized tung oil with urethane varnish. It makes a fine gunstock finish and can be thinned for a sealer. It has a slightly more "on the surface and brittle" appearance than the polymerized tung oil alone. It also requires fewer coats. I use it when building Brown Bess muskets to get a more varnish look to the finish.
