Feed-n-wax food safe???
I saw this product at Home Depot. Since it is beeswax, carnuba wax
and orange oil I wondered if it would be food safe. With the orange oil, it does have a very nice smell. I know that any finish is food safe after it cures, but wanted your thoughts. I have used a combo of mineral oil and beeswax in the past, which I know is foodsafe but it gets gummy over time. Just looking for your thoughts on this product. http://www.howardproducts.com/feednwax.htm Thanks, Steve Massman |

I looked up their site and since that wasn't covered under questions, I sent them an e-mail asking. Will let you know. As far as other solvent based finihsed, they are fine once the solvents have evaporated out and the finish is cured, usually taking from a day or 2 to a couple of weeks. robo hippy |

I try as much as possible to stay away from chemical dryers and such on my work. There are so many people with allergies nowadays, it is really hard to get it right. Most manufacturers tend to say that their product is safe once properly cured but then, who is to know? For the longest while we thought lead based paints were okay once dry but they weren't. I did have a woman darn near run away from one of my bowls last year when she was told I had used walnut oil on it. Now I mark each with the kind of wood and the finish used. When in doubt, all I use is carnauba wax. If it's good enough to coat Smarties, it's good enough for me! |
