Copolymers were synthesized from tung oil and 1,6 hexanediol diacrylate or 1,4‐butanediol diacrylate via the Diels‐Alder reaction. The copolymers were completely soluble in common laboratory solvents, and had very broad molecular weight distributions. The residual double bonds in the copolymers were used to cure films by oxidative means. The films had good solvent resistance, good gloss, and a reasonable hardness–flexibility balance. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 80: 2369–2375, 2001
