I have Michigan Maple Block Co.'s Good Stuff on my maple counter tops. Same product? It's worn thru to bare wood. Can I clean it and put this on top?

The best way to go about refinishing your top would be to sand it all down to bare wood and apply The Good Stuff. That way there is no issue with compatibility and the finish will look better and last longer. It's a little extra work but would be worth it.

I have recoated several worn spots with great results....But ---- do a small spot first to check it out.... I do think I would clean and recoat the entire surface....I think you are going to like the results.Old Nick

I would call Michigan Maple block and ask but I'm pretty sure it's the same.

I think it is the same product, as Michigan Maple Block Co is on the lower right hand side of the label. I have used this on a butcher block countertop that was sanded down to bare wood, and it's held up really well for the past 4 months. Hope this helps!

I have used it on my tops there a white, and on my table top. Have had no problem. If it would leave a mark it should wipe right off.If you are still worried get a cutting board to put it on.

Hello, I would think you could safely put the Claphams Bee's wax on Vaneer counter-tops, but if the vaneer is worn off I rather doubt that it will restore the vaneer (which is a thin layer of wood on top of another wood) to its original finish.What it will do is give you a finish coat with a nice soft overall sheen. It will not give you a surface that you can use as a cutting board though. Good Luck.

Emmet's Good Stuff is great. We fabricate butcher block countertops and emmet's is the only thing we use to finish them. It is very strong, food safe and has a beautiful finish. It does the yellow the wood a shade. The only other thing we used to use is food grade mineral oil that you can pick up at any walgreens or CVS, in the laxative isle. It does raise the grain of the wood a bit so make sure you sand the top to at least 200 grit or higher. Anything less will be a rough finish once the mineral oil sets in. The mineral oil also just seals the wood for a little while it will have to be re applied at least yearly. Mineral oil, also wont protect against any scratching. Emmet's Good Stuff is great.

different mix off hardwoods. not a pure maple block. but trust me, this awsome cutting board will be the one you hand down to your children with proper care. avoid excess water when cleaning, and use (the cheapest, at the hardware store), food grade mineral oil on both top and bottom monthly, dependiing on use. this block is the top of the line for it's price. just dont go for the high priced oils that are out there, food grade mineral oil is all you need, and for the first 3 times, be heavy with the oil, this is a macho block!

wood is pores, it traps air, oils,moisture, and such. was it a new top ? or had it been out doors and just re coated with this product. depending on the type of wood. I have found that using just a good clear wood sealer, letting it soak in real good and letting it sit for at least 72 hours or more helps as well as making sure the wood even with out sealer is good and dry before coating. as well even if you coat just the top, it being out side it will draw moisture from the bottom as well. using a good sealer on all areas not being coated with this product also helps. that is what generally causes any wood finish to fail being exposed to the out doors.

I would think it would work well. I put it on the butcher block counter tops I made for my kitchen. These countertops also see a lot of use (Grandma baking and teaching cooking to all our Grandkids, nieces, Great nieces, etc.). It holds up very well and looks good doing it.

I used it on a solid top counter top that I had sanded out some scratches. I guess you need a pro to sand it down properly toan original shine. This product did nothing.

It will last for many years if you don't wash it in the dishwasher. My previous one was still going strong but someone "borrowed" it. It is much more durable than maple. It doesn't seem to take knife marks like other hardwood cutting boards.

Hi--from my standpoint only--this piece has such a beautiful natural finish, especially the top surface, that I don't know if stripping and staining is such a good idea....it might spoil the unit. The "table" top is so smooth. I took the manufacturer's advice and purchased some clear polyurethane and brushed it on the top, as instructed, twice, before I even used the unit. It was perfect and I love it. Even though this is real wood, I almost never put anything directly on that surface. It is just so pretty and I don't want to mar it. So, I have 2 placemats on the "bar" area, where the stools are, and on the space above that, I have a butcher block cutting board in the center of that space that exactly matches the table top in grain and color. If I use this unit for a "wine bar" and have guests coming over, I remove the cutting board and put a basket of napkins in it's place, with a couple of smaller cheese boards on each side of it. My wine bar has become a popular place for my two single, adult grandsons. I suppose the knobs and handles could be replaced, as they are screwed on. The ones with the kit, however, are quite nice and blend into the cabinet's color. What is "Modded"? I don't know how to answer that. This piece far exceeded my expectations for what is essentially "a kit". Enjoy, if you buy it.

I am not sure what you are trying to do, but I would not recommend this for countertops due to the residue it can leave. Clear packing tape (much much cheaper - find a dollar store) should work if the counter is clean.

i think it will look fine but if you scrape your counter top often and it is in fact a high traffic area i would use their counter top transformation which is pricey but great and very durable or their counter top finishes in a can. i repainted an old frig with stainless steel paint which looked great, and a counter of a small unit but i have a cutting surface on part of it which is where hot pots etc go. it is great stuff but work fast and make confident roller or brush passes not tentative ones. it is beautiful.

I just used the board cream. It's kind of frustrating though because I used it regularly and my board warped anyway...even though I made sure it never got put in the dishwasher. I would still recommend it. It moisterizes the wood really well.

Like any polish it will wash off after a while. I have laminate counter tops and it works great but does need to be re-applied after a few counter top washings.

It`s not ment for bare wood. It reacts with the original finish and brings back the shine. It works well if and old finish is still there

I use the stone tech for my granite counters in the kitchen. I also have carrera marble counters in the MBR and found " Marble Wax" by Town Talk Polish to work very well on the marble counters. It helped with stains and rings from bottles as it protects the surface and keeps a shine. Since it would be slippery, don't use it on the floor. It also has a wonderful lavender aroma, so you won't even mind the application.

I don't think so, unless you reapply frequently, which defeats the purpose of the finish. That said, I wouldn't recommend using those cleaners on a wooden countertop as it will end up in your food.
