Default Toxic Finish?

I applied Minwax Tung Oil Finish to my cutting board (one coat) and then
started to question its toxicity. Because you can not call Minwax on the
weekend, I decided to just sand the crap off and apply some food safe Salad
Bowl finish that I picked up today. I am still a little paranoid that their
still might be some finish soaked deep into the pores that I can't get out.

I know that poly is Non-toxic when dry and Tung oil is non toxic, but I am
not sure if they add any chemical drying agents that could be toxic.


Running out of things to worry about, are we???

I wouldn't worry much, once it is dry it will be pretty much contained
anyway.

If you're really worried about it, you could look at the MSDS for the
product which I'm sure you could find via a link from Minwax.
