What is food-safe to use to finish bowls and what isn't
.
Danish oil - doesn't it contain petrolium distillates. Once the item cures (dries) the distillates are gone.
What about all of the other products containing petrolium distillates that are applied to wood as sanding fillers, to bring out any sanding scratches.
I know these distillates evaporate but what about the residues left behind
when they evaporate???
Is wax safe on the surfaces in contact with food???
is a waxed lacquer surface food-safe???
The big question (asked by my wife ) --- how sanitary are wood surfaces used for food? --- how does one sanitize a wood bowl finished using only
mineral oil? and not leave a bad/funny tast in it?
