Is there any formaldehyde or wood glue used in production of these boards?

I think thats probably a manufactorer question. I have had no issues with mine.

I cannot answer that honestly. However, within a month or so of using it, the product started warping/bending, and the handle subsequently cracked. I have bought Bamboo boards at places like Bed Bath and Beyond, COSTCO, and they stills works about 1.5 years later. The quality of this product from Amazon is pathetic.

Hi, I'm not sure if formaldehyde is used or not. But when I first received it, the smell was very strong and could not use it for several days. To me, it may be chemical or composite smell. Better to let it where the air comes through for days and use it.

I have never tried that. For wood, I always use Elmer's wood glue - the yellow type. This product works Excellent with metal AND plastic as I have used it for ......

I believe they are. I've had my these boards for 3 years and they are stored outside. I've also brought them on vacation on the beach for a week, and they have not corroded or jeopardized the integrity of the boards. I do, however clean them regularly with furniture polish.

I am not sure. I don't think so. It has a lot of chemical type names on the ingredients but does not actually say formaldehyde.

the best glue that i have found is regular wood glue but use it sparingly not to add to much wait to the plane

Great question! Though I have never called the company and questioned them directly, I believe it is formaldehyde free. You can go to their website and read about the company and their products. I always buy the Organic Grade B syrup.

MDF with thin wood veneer. I know because I drilled holes and cardboard came out.

I am sorry but I do not know. The cutting boards are holding up well. I use one nearly daily. As a user of the boards I do not have a way to determine how the boards were glued.

Good quality wood glue although there is a tube of glue provided in the kit.

Any glue and paint is non-toxic. It has been really enjoyed by my 2.5 year old granddaughter. The screws to put on the doors need to be wood screws and the ones included did not work. Only complaint I have. Very sturdy

I'm pretty sure I recall the packaging saying it was BPA free, but I don't recall seeing anything about formaldehyde. Sorry.

No glue needed.(I didn't get glue in my boxes) Holes are pre-drilled. Very easy to put together.

My board didn't have any major knots in it, but wood has its own character, knots and all. If the knot is in a place that is bothersome or hindering where you cut, I would contact the vendor.

Yes. However if wood glue is used U must be carefull not to sand it too much, since the glue penetrates to some degree, and stain can become less uniform..

You will need to buy glue yourself. You will also need sandpaper, clamps, stain and brushes, maybe even polyurethane to finish depending on your tastes. Nothing is included besides the wood, strings, and hardware.

Yes, they have a blue paper label glued on the grid side that does NOT peel off cleanly, but instead leaves a sticky spot that is extremely difficult to remove. The smell is awful! The smell is so strong that it went through the tablecloth and made the tabletop smell. Fortunately lemon oil removed the smell. I threw them in the trash. I would NOT recommend these blocking boards. The idea was good. The execution failed miserably. Another reviewer who crochets recommended playroom tiles instead. I ordered some, but they haven't arrived yet. Don't waste your money on the Boye blocking boards. You will NOT be happy with them.
