Epoxy/urethane wood finish
I'm looking for a way to make a waterproof and food safe finish for
some projects, little things like turned goblets etc. I've tried all the 'food safe' finishes on the market and all my projects have split when exposed to standing water inside. All broke within 15 minutes. After a lot of research, I'm finding that the most common advice is to use epoxy to make the wood water tight. Loctite makes two versions, the original and the extra time. I'm thinking of putting two coats of epoxy on the inside of a goblet, sanding it smooth, and then putting two coats of polyurethane over the whole thing inside and out. Has anyone ever done anything like this or have any different ideas that have worked for them in the past? I've read about the old rule that all finishes are non toxic when cured...but things like poly take 30 days to fully cure?? Suggestions, ideas, comments anyone?? |

I can't speak as to the other stuff, but I have looked at the MSDS for GF Arm-R-Seal and Salad Bowl Finish and they are identical. I think it's the exact same stuff with a different label on it. -Kevin |
