Thank you! Thank you! And Thank You! Seen sooo many beautiful projects involving epoxy resin on surfaces that are prone to or designed to come in contact with food and my first thoughts are generally a) beautiful when made but how well does it hold up under regular heavy use and b) while it receives this regular heavy use, what is it leaving behind in the food. The biggest differentiation for me is serving vs cutting. I would serve on epoxy all day with relatively no issues. Cutting on an epoxy surface is, in my humble opinion, an absolute no. Not only would I be marring a surface that is designed to be flawlessly flat, I would be slowly removing that surface and eating it. Taking the time to suss out the details and presenting them in a digestible manner (you see what I did there) is a talent most don’t have. Again, thank you for sharing your time and knowledge.

This was exactly what I have been looking for trying to find out. Thank you so much. Let me make sure I got the summary correct. Poly and Epoxy (no pigments) are "ok" as a food additives (contact only) because all of the under lying ingredients are on an approved list. So epoxy/poly on a serving board would be "ok" since you shouldn't be cutting on it and it would otherwise ruin the finish. Thanks again.

Correct. I’d just want to clarify terminology that they’re *indirect food additives. And I can’t verify that all ingredients are on the safe list since I don’t have access to that.. but someone in the industry has said so.

Hey Thank you so much for this information. I been digging myself and was about to read through the food safe section and this covered everything. I have been doing mostly engraved in wood art and people have asked me to do cutting boards and coasters. I know with coasters using the epoxy doesnt matter cause it isnt directly with food. However this has helped me to know what kind of cutting boards people would want. And because of this would go more serving trays after seeing what you cutting on a full coated example. Though I have a few question after watching this; I see that you have made cutting boards with epoxy (it not the whole board) do you state to your customers that its safe to use like any other board? Do you think its best to use a poly based finish over the cutting boad that has the epoxy or other food safe finishes? And lastly would you recomend to cover the cutting board fully in epoxy with no extra finishes? I would love to hear what you have to say to help me with the dilema I currently have when it comes to cutting board making. Thank you again

Thanks for the interesting video. I had a clay mortar made by a local potter, for use in making pounded papaya salad which I used to eat about three times a week when I lived in Thailand. The pot cracked a little inside at the bottom when it was fired at high temperature, and now I'm thinking of coating the inside with two part clear epoxy resin from The Home Depot here in Mexico. The package doesn't say whether it's food safe or not. The pestle is rounded and the pounding takes about 3 minutes. If there's a health risk in this, the alternative would be to chuck the clay and have a new one made from wood (like one I had in Thailand) or from ceramic. Any thoughts?

Just use food grade finishes and you won't have to worry about it. Also, you'd have enough assets to be worth suing, and they'd have to satisfy "but for" causation which is a crazy high burden. That your item, and your item alone - with no other reasonable possibility, is the cause of the illness. My point isn't that you can get away with any finish. Be smart. It's just don't let that fear stop you - it's so unlikely it'd ever happen. Also, people are actually less litigious than they used to be. The idea that everyone is sue happy was actually part of a PR campaign that McDonalds paid for when they got in that legal battle with the lady they put in the hospital and then refused to pay for her treatment. The actual stats show suits have been going down.. but there's this fun psychological phenomenon in play too where folks love to find out and talk about the occassional frivolous suit because it makes them feel superior "I'd never sue over something so stupid, in fact - I'd never sue someone!" And then big corps get to rest cozy in the social pressure they created that most people have shamed themself out of the only remedy they have if they're done wrong. Sorry for the law school rant, just some info I found incredibly interesting while there.

Whoever in government approves chemicals for sale, should not be trusted. They all lie for industry. Perhaps a group like occupational health and safety? @@YouCanMakeThisToo Example: FDA FINALLY admitted that BPA was a health risk. Nothing about pure dioxins dripping off microwaved plastic films. Nothing about all the other chemicals coming from plastics. I worked with Environment Canada, for a few years, collecting various environmental samples and data. We used rain catchers that opened up when it rained. The buckets were lined with plastic bags that we sealed and sent for analysis. Over and over we were send different formulations of plastic bags as the scientists tried to find a bag that didn't contaminate the samples. They were not able to, and had to settle with known contaminants from the plastics. All we hear about is BPA, because someone made an issue of it...rightly so. There could be all sorts of chemicals in finishes that we are not told about. Hell they approved aspartame against all advise from independent labs; an ant poison, known to break down into formaldehyde, formic acid(ant venom), and methyl alcohol(poison).....and people keep eating it :-( We can not trust today's government regulators. Don't be fooled by the idea that you are exposed to only tiny amounts, so you are safe. Hormone mimics and many other chemicals cause harm in very tiny amounts. This is an important topic. We are all exposed to far far too much chemicals. Off gassing of chemicals too.

I am a 100% newbie and I got roped into doing a resin pouring project, where I chose to make a cutting board. I did a test before I poured my board, and decided to cut into it after it had cured for a week, just to be sure it wouldn't scratch. And of course, it did. So are you saying there really is nothing you can do to make an epoxy cutting board scratch resistant? If not, then what is the sense of making an epoxy cutting board, if the first time your blade comes in contact with it, it scratches? I already have a lot of money tied up in this project, so if I can't make the epoxy portion of the cutting board scratch resistant, I might just abandon it altogether. I appreciate you making this video, I think it's taught me that I should never make or purchase an epoxy cutting board, if it's just going to get ruined!

Nobody I know wants to buy a cutting board they can't actually use"....please tell me what finish we can use for a wood/epoxy cutting board. I see the list of 'safe' items at the end but take shellac - okay - it's a nice finish and it's safe but you can't get shellac wet for any substantial amount of time and if I make a cutting board and coat it in shellac, whoever gets it will lose the finish after the first five hand washes.....and okay - we've got the mineral oil based stuff that I've seen you bathe the cutting boards in but that obviously doesn't protect the epoxy resin and we saw at the beginning of the video what happens when you start making cuts on the epoxy......so is it even possible to make a useable epoxy/wood cutting board like the cool ones we've seen in earlier videos?

Always research before doing stuff so I am glad I been hunting because your video is the best I’ve seen! I am new to resin and wanted to do a cutting board but instantly thought about if it would be safe or not. Guess I gotta figure something else out

If I am trying to coat a coffee-stained bamboo lid, that will be occasionally exposed to hot drinks (tea, coffee), what would you recommend I coat it with? Seems that everything out there is not heat-resistant while also being food-safe unfortunately..
@YouCanMakeThisToo

Oof. Yeah, if you're trying to heat resistant and something labeled food safe, that's going to be tough. But if you're just talking typical coffee/tea mugs, that shouldn't be more heat than most finishes can handle. Or, use a coaster

Question about stains on cutting boards/charcuterie boards. I’ve never been on this side of woodworking, I’ve stuck to make decor and wall “art” and have just recently been wanting to get involved in kitchen items. I’m wanting to start making lazy Susan’s, charcuterie boards and cutting boards and I was wondering what I could do to make them look good? Is it safe to use a normal oil or water based wood stain on them? Do you do that with your projects? What finishes do you recommend to put over a wood stain?
@YouCanMakeThisToo
3 жыл бұрын
It's best to follow with the same type of product and keep in the same brand if possible. If you use an oil stain, use an oil finish. Water stain, use a water finish (and just use water anyone, better for you, the environment, and easier clean up). kzitem.info/news/bejne/lJV70qSQeqWem4I

I don't know about the newer epoxy stuff. But I do know that all wood finishes in the United States are food safe once they become inert. I've got a pdf. somewhere about it 10 years ago (on some drive). They all are just not expedient to use. Walnut Oil and Mineral Oil just make it easy to touch up and use for wood products if food is going to be used. Thanks for your research... Newbies may not have all that info. First thing I do is take the wooden item and rub in Mineral Oil or Walnut Oil. After allowing that to soak in and dry, then I use this formula: 12 oz of Mineral Oil 2 oz of bee’s wax 1/2 oz of Carnuba wax I melt all of that over a medium heat in a metal bowl that is sitting on boiling/hot water. (double boiler?) I then poor that into a Wide mouth Mason Jar. Now, this is a mix that gives me a medium dense paste. Some may prefer softer and some may prefer a harder wax. All you need to do is to soften is to add more mineral Oil…. to harden… don’t use as much mineral oil. Re-coat about every 3 months or so.

Hello I know this is quite to do with this video ( by the way is great and very informative) but when I'm sanding I finish on a 1500 grit wet sand on the epoxy boards im doing them when the water drys after wiping clean they keep clouding up whatever I seem to do it won't go clear any tips would be great ?
@YouCanMakeThisToo
4 жыл бұрын
Sure thing. So I'm assuming that you're going through the grits properly and aren't leaving any lower grit scratches behind. The cloudiness just means you aren't going high enough. For a clear polish 1500 is about 70% of the work. From there you need to go through the micro mesh pads up to 12000 grit, or switch to a polishing compound and buff it. Alternatively, if you put a curing finish over the top, like clear halcyon or wood bowl finish.. it'll fill the tiny cracks left and give you a good shine.

I love the video. When I first started making cutting boards I found the information to be cloudy at best. I like how you lined out the products, how the regulations work, and what really happens with the over fancy epoxy cutting boards(Spoiler alert if you have not watched the video: they are truly decorative. No surprise I know. LOL) Needless to say, thank you for putting this video out, great info on it, and even gave me a few ideas of other products to use that I had not considered. The Howards is good, but I still find the old fashion mineral dip first is a good way to get it started then finish with Howards. :)
@YouCanMakeThisToo

Thanks! Glad it was helpful. And that's a good idea about mineral oil dip followed by wax mix (Howards) that'll help seal the mineral oil into the wood and minimize that oily feeling just dipped boards have for a while. I've used the Mahoney's walnut oil/wax blend on a few boards recently and like it a lot better so far. The walnut oil is polymerized so it cures. After a few hours it keeps more luster than the Howards and isn't greasy feeling.

If you wish to mix your own shellac from flakes for a food safe application, go to your liquor store and buy EVER CLEAR GRAIN ALCOHOL. Use this instead of DNA for your mix. The ever clear alcohol is a high proof liquor 151 or 190 proof which makes it a very intoxicating if consumed, but works fine for your shellac mixtures.
