Does this product create a wax build-up over time on your cutting board?

No wax build-up. It is a food-grade light mineral oil that keeps the wood from drying out and cracking. It contains no wax.

It hasn't on mine Trixie. I do polish it after it dries so maybe that relieves a build up problem.

I think that would depend on how often you use the product. I put on three to four coats on my cutting board (a very large hardwood board) I haven't needed to put any more on, it seals it nicely without being waxy. I may put another coat on since it has been awhile. It doesn't need to be over done, a little goes a long way. I really like this product.

If you follow the instructions provided with the product, a wax build-up should not occur. I've been using this for over a year and have no complaints so far.

No, there is no build-up. The excess buffs off. You do need to apply it again when the cutting board starts to appear or feel dry.

Not so far. Been using it for about 2 months. Wax the board several times to start with, letting each coat dry thoroughly - I waited overnight each time. Now, I add a light coat when I notice that the water is no longer beading up on the surface, or a food is leaving a stain behind. I really like it, although I wish it would last a bit longer between coats.

Not that I could tell. We love this unit and use it often. Neither my wife or I remember seeing anything that looked like wax on it. It came seasoned.

I have had this cutting board for ... About a year? And it gets daily, heavy use. It has warped ever so slightly, and although I did purchase the treatment oil, I have yet to use it. It is my understanding that treating it prolongs use. The board is extraordinarily durable and can stand up to very sharp knives. There are barely any scratches on the board after a year of cutting with professional grade knives.

Sorry to here that! I have not had that happen. My ceramic griddle came with small scratches on the lip on one side and after using the griddle awhile, the scratches have not peeled or gotten bigger.

That's a good question actually and one that I don't really know. The product itself conceals the scratches only a little bit. I can still see them. I don't think it's a wax that will eventually fade but it's probably has wax-like ingredients and may eventually fade. I just haven't noticed. Sorry.

Mine are also 30+ years and wax (not poly sealed). I love the lundmark cleaner for monthly cleaning and then the wax for every couple of months. when waxing - i first use the cleaner and then follow up with the wax.

Yes most of the waxes have a short life span,Max 6 months. It does break down and create a watery substance if you don't use it for a long time.

I have used it to remove blackened spots on the interior of my pans, but I did it a little at the time, over a period of days, scrubbing gently. Eventually all the black was gone. The pans don't look "new" again, but they don't seem to have lost their non-stick quality, either.

I've had mine over a year. Two seasons and it's still just as good. It's just a waxy substance kinda like surf board wax. No reason it should go bad or stop working from one season to the next. Mine is more than half gone and prob will need to get another at the end of this year.

Yes but make sure you put it on some paper towels for a day or two beforehand to pull the wax out of it a bit.

No, this does not have that. It has been used through temperature extremes and there is no residue left. I still remain very pleased with this product.

I don't remember if we did!. Sorry, but it went on so smoothly and evening with a sponge mop (with an old towel). We then buffed it with our electric buffer to bring out the shine. The wax has been on for almost 3 months and it is the first wax in 27 years that has 'worked' on our natural wood KITCHEN floors. I am extremely pleased with it.

I have not found that to be true, I just lightly coat the surface with a little butter (i use a folded paper towel)

I understand the oil is like the shampoo and extends the life of the cutting boards. The cream is like the conditioner and seals the top coat of the wood surface. I use it faithfully. My cutting boards are still beautiful. Hope this helps.

That seems to be the case in my experience on a butcher block table that's only been treated with this product. I wipe it down with a damp cloth frequently and it leaves no marks or stains. I think the more you treat the surface regularly, the more protective it seems to be in my case.

The wax? Not at all. Just be sure to warm it up with your fingers (body heat) before applying. Also, make sure to brush in thoroughly.

I have used this polish on my oak dining table and chairs since 2009 and have not noticed any buildup. I only need to use a small amount. I put the polish on a terry cloth towel-not directly on the furniture. I apply first against the grain and then finish with the grain. Hope this helps.
