The Citrus Shield can you showed is all Carnauba in orange oil, a good choice indeed. The other product they have that is food safe is a blend of Carnauba and Beeswax in mineral oil. I wonder if the orange oil base is considered food safe? For this old goat I don't give a rat's patooty.Xplorer wrote: ↑Tue Mar 14, 2023 12:59 pmI completely agree with the finishing wax suggestion. It's easy to apply, provides nice protection to the wood and buffs up nicely.
I use a different brand. I've used Howard's Citrus Shield Premium Paste Wax for many years and I love it. It's Brazilian carnuba, bees wax and orange oil. It protects, shines and smells fantastic! Even though I usually treat unfinished woods with multiple applications of boiled linseed oil first, I always finish with Howard's wax. If I'm going to skip the linseed oil for any reason, I still always apply the wax. No wood project of mine is complete until it smells like oranges.
Since I am finishing without any carrier just the pure wax, it is food safe.
