We’ve all heard the line that all finishes are food safe when they have fully cured. Even nitrocellulose lacquer. But for all the makers and sellers out there, what do your customers perceive as a food safe finish. Is it strictly a finish you could actually eat while wet ie walnut oil, or do they actually really believe they can eat there cereal out of an epoxy coated bowl? Do they really believe Mulroney walnut oil will not give them a nut allergic reaction.
what do you use as a food safe finish on turned goods.
and secondly, woods such as cocobolo, that have natural oils in them that can cause severe reactions, what finish would you put on them to be food safe? Shellac? Or do you just steer clear of those woods. I’ve heard A story of a duck call maker getting sued by Client for a cocobolo call which was waxed and when wore off. The hunter had a severe reaction.
