TheSpoonman Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 hey all - i'm wondering if you think it would create a problem if an end grain cutting board that has been finished with a salad bowl varnish were to be oiled later on with mineral oil. if the board were sanded down at a later date and given a new coat or two of varnish, would the mineral oil in the wood create problems with the new varnish curing and becoming "food safe"? any help/expertise would be appreciated. many thanks...

areynoldsre Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 I am no expert but I only use the mineral oil on my cutting boards. Ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davestanton Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 Vegetable oil is the only oil I use on timber cutting boards. I would sand any finish off the surfaces that will come in contact with food and then give a few coats of vegetable, canola or sunflower oil. Let it dry and away you go.
