Castor Wax: Suitable for use on leather, wood, skin, and more, castor wax offers antimicrobial properties and delivers excellent protection against organic materials. FAQ Frequently Asked Questions about Cutting Board Oil “How often should I reapply Cutting Board Oil?” Whenever the wood appears “dry” or is losing its resistance to water and washings are good indicators it’s time for a recoat.

The Cutting Board Oil will go right over the epoxy giving it a nice sheen while simultaneously conditioning the wood areas. “Can I use Wood Wax over Cutting Board Oil?” You can use our Wood Wax over Cutting Board Oil, but it is not necessary.

Rest assured, all of these options will perform well and protect your wood! “Can I use your tung oils over Cutting Board Oil?” We do not recommend using any of our tung oil or hemp oil finishes over the Cutting Board Oil. This is because those oils are drying oils whereas Cutting Board Oil is made with non-drying oils. The two natures of these oils will conflict with one another, so it’s best to avoid mixing them. That being said, you can apply the Cutting Board Oil over the tung oils/hemp oil after they have fully cured. Take note that future maintenance will be with the Cutting Board Oil unless it is completely removed from the surface before maintaining with the tung oils/hemp oil. “Is your Cutting Board Oil truly plant-based?
