I'm hesitant to use something even like "Ready-Strip Pro and Citrus Strip," which is safer than most strippers, because of worries over potential leftover residues in the wood behlen salad bowl finish msds zip might leach into the food later.

I could always just skip the stripping and go at it with some heavy sandpaper, but that can be a real PITA. James, You could try using a cabinet scraper to remove the old finish. Paint stores may carry a curved scraper that would suit your needs. The sort of scraper I'm refering to is often available in hardware stores for behlen salad bowl finish msds zip 8. If you have a piece of an old handsaw blade you can easily make one from that too.

You would still be required to do finish sanding after you scraped the surface. Scrapers are commercially available in curved shapes. You can easily file one to match the curves of your bowl though. I found this article with a quick search, there are many more, but it illustrates the basic concept. How to use a cabinet scraper The edge of the scraper will have to be sharp This is usually done with a mill file and long gentle strokesbut you can do the same thing with a small sharpening stone.

A burr is then raised by running a harder object, such as the round shank of a drill bit down the edge tipped at angled about 10 degrees. I'd suggest trying the scraper without the burr first as it may work well enough for you and it's difficult to raise behlen salad bowl finish msds zip proper burr on curved sallad. Scrapers are good, so is a drill with a sandpaper flap wheel, nothing coarser than grit, then afterwards maybe by hand with grit.

Once you get it howl stay away from film finishes--anything that dries hard. Best bet would be walnut oil. All-natural, easy to apply, and most importantly easy to re-apply.

Disagree on using food oils as wood finishes. Even the ones that don't get gummy eventually go rancid and start to smell.

Best choice, IMO and not just mine is mineral oil. Cheap, enduring, food-grade, not harmful, easy to apply and reapply, you can get it from the drugstore, and it will help keep you "regular. There's an English gehlen, Behlen, which makes a "natural" finish for wood, food prep surfaces that's got more gloss and seal than food oils or mineral oils and is supposed to be completely safe. Pay attention to BDL- USP mineral is the recommended finish for wooden cutting boards since it does not form a film or become rancid- and a well-sanded bowl should be no different.

It's also cheap at any pharmacy or grocery store. If you get the old finish really well removed and finish sand the woodthen follow a new-cutting-board schedule: once a day for a week, once a week behlen salad bowl finish msds zip a month, and then about once a month as long as behlen salad bowl finish msds zip own it. Wipe the oil down well immediately after applying, every time.

Being lazy, I like the flap-sander idea. You can enhance somewhat by msdw a little bee's wax to the mineral oil, heat so that it goes into solution it will stay in solutionand spreading on a newly sanded surface.

Hi, I have an authentic teak Dansk ice bucket that has very mild mildew on the underside of the lid and a few marks on it htat I think can come off with refinishing, so I was researching and found this thread from a few years ago.

I have a dremel with sandpaper wheel I can use, or by hand for that part, but I am still worried about removing the finish too much. Could that have b een what they used on msdw teak in production?

Thanks, Lee. Orange oil is mostly used as a degreaser, not for finishing wood. Lemon oil is another story. It's used as a cleaner and preservative for already finished, sealed wood. Try using a solution of ordinary household bleach to get rid of the behlen salad bowl finish msds zip. Start with a ratio of 4 parts water to 1 of bleach, and if that doesn't work after several applications, go equal parts. Don't let it soak for more than a couple of minutes or it will bleach the dalad right out of the wood why they call it bleach, doncha know.

Rather, use successive applications, rinsing between them. After you're positive the mold is completely gone, give it a final rinse and allow to thoroughly dry. Then you can oil it. For your oil finish, use ordinary mineral oil -- the kind you buy at a drug store. Fijish you've oiled your bucket, if you don't like its appearance we can discuss alternatives. Behlen salad bowl finish msds zip it generously everyday, until it won't absorb any more.

Then oil it every couple of months or so to keep the wood saturated. While you're at it, do your cutting boards too. If you want to tweak it a bit fonish off the bat, get some beeswax and melt it into your mineral oil at a ratio of about 5 parts oil to one part wax by weight. The blend will give you a deeper color, and won't need refreshing as often as straight mineral oil. Last behlen salad bowl finish msds zip Jul 17, If the ice bucket has a plastic liner why would you need to worry about using a food safe finish for it?

As a former Upholsterer and Woodworker I can tell you that the most accepted finish used for Teak that may get some moisture on it, would be Tung oil, although the process of applying it can be salzd involved. If your not comfortable with using it then your best bet is to finish it the way BDL described.

Boar d Laze is right on. It should also be noted that food grade mineral oil is edible. Where cleaning mssd orange and lemon oils are most likely not. Behlen salad bowl finish msds zip must log in or register to reply here.
