So apparently DW recommends that you re-apply tung oil to their satin finish drums every few years. I just spent the last week dismantling all three of my drums and took the time to apply the oil, let it dry for a bit, then hand-buffed it, then let it sit 24-hours, then repeating the process one more time. Going on the drums took on a nice gloss finish, and as I buffed them and repeated, the shells took on this nice lustre.
While I was at it, I replaced ALL the screws and washers with new stainless steel ones and trashed all the cheap corroded screws DW initially installed (talk about cheaping out). Now the drums look new inside and out! The pictures don’t quite translate the beauty, but now they all look uniform and the grain pops out at you a bit more. What do you think?
