How to Use Chestnut Food Safe Finish

For the best results, apply the Food Safe Finish to clean, smooth and bare timber.

1. Sand the timber smooth.
2. Remove all sanding dust.
3. Ensure the wood is completely clean and free from previous finishes.
4. Apply a generous coat using a clean lint free cloth or brush.
5. Allow the oil to soak into the timber.
6. Wipe away any excess oil remaining on the surface.
7. Repeat for up to three coats if required.
8. If the oil no longer absorbs into the wood, no further coats are necessary.

Allow the finish to dry thoroughly before returning the item to use. The amount of oil absorbed will depend on the type and condition of the timber.

Maintaining a Food Safe Wood Finish

Wooden kitchenware and food-contact items can require regular maintenance, particularly when they are frequently washed or exposed to moisture.

Chestnut Food Safe Finish can be reapplied when the timber begins to look dry or when the protective effect of the oil has reduced.

Simply ensure the item is clean and dry before applying another thin coat of Food Safe Finish. Remove any excess oil from the surface and allow it to dry thoroughly before use.

Chestnut Food Safe Finish vs Other Wood Finishes

Not every wood finish is suitable for items that come into contact with food. Chestnut Food Safe Finish has been specifically formulated as a food-grade mineral oil for food-contact wooden items.

It differs from finishes that are simply resistant to food or moisture. When finishing chopping boards, bowls, utensils and other food-contact timber, it is important to choose a product intended for this type of application.

Chestnut Food Safe Finish is particularly useful when you want to maintain the natural appearance and feel of the timber without creating a heavy surface film.
