Sticky Weapons

Hello,
After applying tung oil mixed even parts with boiled linseed oil to my jo and bokken (and wiping off most of the excess) I allowed them to dry for 24 hours. Since this was my initial oiling I followed a recommendation to treat them again in the same way. Now, over 24 hours past the second treatment they are still a bit sticky. The stickiness goes beyond what I would see as helpful for gripping.
Is this because the oil is still soaking in, or perhaps because I had used to much and not buffed frequently enough? If that is the case, is there any safe way to correct the situation?

Thank you,

Curtis
