To catch you up to date Ernie, Acks abrasive and polishing wax is now number one in the USA with shellac underneath as a sealer. Try it, you will change your mind.we add several ounces of carnuba wax flakes to our oil and bees wax combo!! 100 percent food safe.

Enjoyed the education and appreciate you sharing your knowledge. I have hand carved wooden bowls for several years and originally used walnut oil as it is food safe and will not turn rancid. The lasy couple of years I have changed to Butcher block oil. It is also food safe as it is used daily in butcher shops. I like it a little better than walnut oil. Just another option for your followers to try. It can be found in many big box stores and most hardware stores. Jim

Use co2 blown into your waterlox before capping your can. Another less expensive method is to take a deep breath, hold until you need to breath, then blow into the can , quickly cap the can after. Old time painters used this to stop paint skin over in the closed can of paint, varnish, etc. I have done this for years and it works. The method greatly reduces the amount of oxygen in the stored can of whatever.

Ernie, use a plastic water bottle to store the oil finish in and squeeze out the air. It works great to keep oils from solidifying.

or you can drop glass marbles into the can or bottle. they displace the oxygen in the can.. Use some oil, drop a couple in.

Dear Ruckmens, Methylated spirits is another name for denatured alcohol, so it would be fine.

Two comments. First just an FYI and that is that shellac has been around for a lot longer than 150 years. Actually the Egyptians used it. Second, walnut oil is fantastic but the variety you get in the grocery store is a problem for people with allergies to tree nuts. It could cause an anaphylactic reaction sending them to the hospital or worse. I use heat treated walnut oil as the proteins which cause the anaphylactic reaction are converted to a non harmful form. Great video though I use all my f these finishes.
@conoverworkshops14863 жыл бұрын
Thanks for this very informative comment it is excellent information to know for I have a grandson with a nut allergy. Do you thermally treat grocery oil yourself in a double boiler or do you buy it? Mike Mahoney makes thermally treated walnut oil. Search Mahoney's Oil and you will find it.

In the United States, all finishes are food safe once they become inert. It's the law. When we say food safe, we mean easily repairable by the owner.

The risk of an allergic reaction to walnut oil is not zero, but it is extremely low. Walnut oils are treated to remove the proteins from the nut that cause most allergic reactions.
