[Woodworkers] Cutting Board Oil

[Dave Heitstuman]

Sighhhhhh......  Where's Joe when we need him, he would analyze this to the enth degree, with all kinds of cool words :) :(

I've never really delved into the whole cutting board oil subject but I'm with you what is missing with the Wally World stuff?  This reminds me of a product that we used to strip paint on models back in the 90's that was sold as user friendly no harmful stuff etc.  As I recall it was over $10.00 but under $20.00 for a half pint(?) bottle.  Turns out it was nothing more than Fantastik cleaner or at least Fantastik would do the same thing for a whole lot less.
I will run this past my daughter the scientist and see what she has to say :)

So I hate to reply to my own email but as I looked closer at the cutting board oils, some say enriched with vitamin E. Have to research that more.

Subject: Cutting Board Oil

The products that are marketed as cutting board oil also market themselves as "Food Grade Mineral Oil". But the truth is, a $2 bottle of Walmart mineral oil is equal to a $16 bottle of Cutting Board Oil that is pure mineral oil, correct? I mean, it has to be, because WM markets their mineral oil as a laxative. If that isn't food grade, I don't know what is. Am I missing something?
