what kind of mineral oil is best to apply on the board before the first use?

I use the common mineral oil available at the grocery store--works well! I try to remember to apply it once a week. I've really enjoyed this cutting board.

The oil is fantastic (I even used it on my wooden utensils) and should last many washings off...don't submerge in water. But if you really want your boards to look, and feel, great be sure to purchase the Boos cream for your boards, this is the stuff I think in combination with the oil is the best for any wooden kitchen items...good luck!

The raw bonding first. Before that clean of all dirt and oil first.For good result keep it over night .

Mineral oil. It arrives with absolutely no moisture. Read up on caring for a bamboo cutting board.

It depends on the kind of refrigerant you,re using in the system. Example: R-12, R-22 is best using Mineral Oil. R-134A, R-410A is best using a polyolester (POE) oil. Check your equipment for a label telling you what oil to use. Don't ever use a lineset that had Mineral Oil in it and add POE oil without completely flushing the lineset with something like RX-11. I always run a new lineset unless it isn't possible.

I wash the board by hand with mild soapy water and dry it after each use. Soapy water strips the oils from the board. When the surface of the board starts to look even a little dry I oil it on both sides and on the ends. I don not wash before using after oiling. It is not necessary. I called the company after I bought the board and this is the process they told me to use. So far it works great. Just be sure to oil both sides and the ends. Hope this helps.

It will need to be oiled first with either a salad bowl finish or mineral oil. We do send instructions for the oiling process with the bowls.

mineral oil works just fine and much cheaper. all these honing oils are basically the same thing and for some brands,all it is is mineral oil.

You care for it as with any wood board. Wipe it clean after each use and moisten with a food-grade oil, available from Amazon or most hardware stores.

Spray a little wd40 on it after use. They make an oil. But that works just fine

It doesn't matter. I keep mine in mineral oil. I dry off some of the oil before I wipe it on the plastic board. The RazorBlade is just a piece of rubbery plastic but it works.

Agree with posted comments. We have black Richlite counters which are porous and stain easily. Osmo oil has worked better than the installer's attempt at sealing. Make sure to apply it with a lint free cloth. If applying two coats be sure to wipe down between coats with tack cloth and allow it to dry completely. No, it does not leave a residue like mineral oil.

Use only water based or silicone based lubricants. Do not use oil-based lubricants. For upkeep add cornstarch to prevent deterioration.

Yes. Not a problem, especially since oil would be used to season it when not in use for an extended period. Oil for seasoning is different than your normal oil. You would get mineral oil for oral use from the pharmacy. Cheaper, and it's the same oil you would buy for seasoning the board from the 'kitchen' department. I did speak with the pharmacist before I bought it.

I use Meguiar's Gold Teak Oil, available at Amazon. I apply about once a week or so. The oil soaks into the wood keeping the beautiful wood clean and protecting the color.

I used the board cream the first time and then every few months for a deep conditioning. I use the Mystery oil every couple weeks to keep it moisturized. Frequency depends on how much you use your board (I use mine daily). You can tell by looking at it if it's starting to dry out.

My board is not bamboo, but the thin layer of oil that I put on it just gets soaked into the wood. I do not wash it off; I just use a soft towel or rag to wipe off any of the excess. I usually oil it at the end of the day so it has ample time to be ready for use later the next day. It does not feel greasy, slick or oily. It just makes the wood grain look richer. I probably oil it more like once a month, although sometimes after 2 or 3 weeks.
