I am currently building an all wood clock and have applied two coats of Minwax tungoil/varnish finish. I would like to have more gloss than I am getting with the tung oil. Is it possible to apply some other finish over the tung oil to obtain more gloss?
Thanks,
Guy

Guy,
You have lots of options. You can apply a wipe on varnish or poly, a brushing varnish, which will give you a thicker coating or shellac.
If it were my choice I would use shellac or a wipe on varnish. Whichever you use, a few thin coats will do. let them cure for a while then rub it down and wax it. You'll have a very attractive finish.
