We're wondering if we can coat our rafters with tung oil and then fasten polycarbonate twin wall direct to rafters?
Will twin wall interact with tung oil?

Sure, why not? All the tung oil will do is keep water from soaking into the rafter it is applied to.

Pros & Cons of Tung Oil as a Wood Finish
It's all natural, non-toxic, and eco-friendly, and it doesn't yellow as much over time as common finishes like linseed oil, nitrocellulose lacquer, or varnishes like polyurethane. On the other hand, tung oil is expensive and susceptible to water rings, stains, and scratches.
