The Best
One of these bottles lasted me almost 5 years of oiling my prized butcher block...it is still in pristine condition thanks to to BOOS!
Here's are some tips:
- Use a small lint-free rag when applying BOOS and after each use, store it in a small AIRTIGHT Tupperware container; as long as their is no air...it cannot combust. The rag will be soaked in oil and ready for the next time
- Before treating your block, squeeze some of the oil into a small bowl and heat in the microwave for a minute - hot oil penetrates the wood better. Wipe in the direction of the grain...
- 1st coats should go on hot, liberally and evenly...let it sit for 30 minutes, then wipe off any excess...or if very 1st time...it may still be dry...repeat with another coat.
- Since this is food grade oil...I use it to treat my cast iron and it even polishes/seals granite counters with just a tiny amount
Congrats...you've found a quality product!
