Hello, all.

I have a bottle of siccative for adding to linseed oil. This contains:
cobalt carboxylate, calcium carboxylate, and lithium carboxylate.

The bottle is marked (among other warnings) "R65, noxious, can damage the
lungs if ingested".

Am I right in assuming that this siccative is unsuitable for use on
articles likely to come into contact with foodstuffs (chopping boards,
salad bowls); that even when fully dry, some toxicity remains?

"Siccative" is a fancy term for metallic driers. Yes they
are poisonous and I wouldn't use 'em on food containers.


What about using it on a knife handle? Would some toxic residue be left on
the hands of someone who uses the knife?

That'd probably be OK. I'd use that on my own garden tools
and knife handles, even steak knives.
