I appreciate you saying the resin ones aren't cutting boards, so many of these videos intentionally don't mention it or aren't knowledgeable enough to know that. Edit: Also I love the use of the bandsaw, it's a tool I've clearly underestimated. I knew it could curve like no other, but I didn't realize how good it was at being a table\circular saw.

The cutting boards are beautiful! However, for those of us who do a GREAT deal of cooking, by putting feet on the board you have lost the ability to use both sides of the board. Chefs keep the board from sliding by putting a damp cloth down first the the cutting board on top of the cloth. Keeps the board from sliding AND I can utilize both sides of the cutting board.

So the mineral oil makes the epoxy resin food contact safe?

@MakersWorkshopLLC

3 жыл бұрын

The resin, once fully cured, is contact safe on its own (not good to chop veggies on though, to keep chips of it from getting into food) The mineral oil finishes off the wood, and also looks nice over the resin.

Do you have any concerns with using oak (since it was flooring, I’m assuming red oak) for cutting boards? I thought the rule of thumb was to refrain from using any open grained wood species. Oak is definitely hard enough, but bacteria and mildew love working their way into the grain.

@AA41975

Жыл бұрын

I've used red oak from Home Depot for a bunch of boards still in use over the last 10 years. As long as you clean them properly, they are fine. I use salt and lemon juice every once in a while to kill any little bacteria that might linger. Never an issue.

Epoxy does not hold up to being cut on with knives. Also it is safe for "food contact" but not to ingest. You will be getting lots of tiny little slivers of epoxy in your food. Considering most epoxies contain BPA or various types of solvents, its a bad idea.

Paint thinner is common practice. It evaporates very quickly and we only use a very little amount just to get dust off. As long as it dries completely it shouldn’t be an issue.

No need to if it’s not something you’re comfortable with. There are plenty of alternatives out there to choose from. What we do is just one opinion, and you should always do your own research and make whatever decision best suits you.

Cool pieces, but cutting/chopping onto resin will get particles on knife and into food which can be dangerous, especially with more use over time. There should be a health warning.

A shiny paper may work. I would imagine the biggest challenge there would be rigidity for a mold; resin can be heavy. We have had consistent great result with the chipboard and tape.
