READ ENTIRE LABEL BEFORE APPLYING
DESCRIPTION AND USES
Watco® Butcher Block Oil & Finish is specially formulated for use on wooden butcher blocks, cutting boards and salad bowls. Easy to apply and maintain, it is nontoxic and safe for food contact when fully dried (meets government standards of 21 CFR 175.300). Butcher Block Oil & Finish provides a rich lustrous sheen while protecting wood surfaces.
SURFACE PREPARATION
Prepare bare wood for finishing by sanding in the direction of the grain. Begin with #150 grit sandpaper and progress though #180 and #220 grits. Before applying oil, remove all sanding dust and dirt with a vacuum.
PRODUCT APPLICATION
Watco Butcher Block Oil & Finish is a ready-to-use product. Do not thin. Use only at room temperature. Mix material thoroughly before application. Stir occasionally during use. Apply with a soft, clean cloth. Allow 6 hours dry time before re-coating. Prior to re-coating, lightly scuff sand with #400 grit sandpaper. Allow 72 hours prior to normal use. Hand wash surface prior to contact with food. DO NOT WASH IN DISHWASHER. If desired, use additional coats to build a finish. Do not apply over other finishes. When used on objects with small openings, such as canisters, proper drying may be inhibited when applied on interior surface.
CLEAN UP
Application tools or brushes should be cleaned with mineral spirits or paint thinner.
