I would agree with Jim, I use Enviro-Tex Lite on all "drinking" vessels
Hi, I have been doing a bit of digging and I found that my hardware store carries this product but I need your input as to 1) do you cut this with Acetone?
2) If so what ratio?
3) Have you ever tried the vacuum dry method with this product?
4) If you cut it, what is done to the drying/setting time?
The reason I ask, I am in the middle of making a number of laminated wine goblets and I am using Box Elder sap wood. It is very light in color and I really don't want the Red Wine to stain it. I have also run into a problem with most wood sealing oils and finishes, they all tend to darken the light wood.
To further our conversation about this product, I called the tech support People at Enviro-Tec. Their comment after I told them what I wanted to do with the product was a resounding NO. Do not use this product on a food container of any type.
So that ends it for me.
What is my next choice?
I have contacted Rhino re their products, so far no response.
But here is what I have turned up, at least it is used in the food industry.
http://www.masterbond.com/ EP30HT is the product I think will do what we are looking for.
Check this out, I have no idea of cost at this point, but it fills our needs.
Syd: The Masterbond product looks good, however, probably expensive. Have you checked out the specifications and MSDS? The extension number I gave at Rhino linings is the sale/order desk and is where you should start.
Here's another vote for doing a simple eurythane finish and then beeswax up the inside nicely. Recoat regularly and should do just fine for a communion cup. Use laquer if you're concerned about the eurythane and, once again, keep the inside waxed. That should prevent bleed through under all but the most egregious of conditions (such as leaving it full for a week between services).

Hi Jim,
I haven't gotten in touch with Rhino yet, it is a supper Long distance call for me.
However, the Masterbond company has done their home work, they have a number of products that are FDA approved for the food industry.
