I have wooden bowls that could use refinishing. We use them on a daily basis. Would this product be good for this use?

I think so but you could also look into other options such as shellac or wax.

It is a very durable and good looking finish. Our end-grain cutting boards have really held up well. As for wooden bowls it really depends one how much wear you place upon the finish day in and day out. I would go with this or 100% Pure Tung Oil and some short of food safe wax finish. If you go with salad bowl finish route---make sure you wait a minimum of 72 hours for the product to cure.

This product is good for your application - wait at least 4 days after the last application before putting bowls into service - this will allow all the solvents to evaporate off. Another option is the Howard butcher block conditioner which does not hold up as well and is intended for use on wooden butcher blocks - there are no solvents in this product with the majority of the carrier being bees wax - its not as water resistant but it is all natural. This product is also avilable on Amazon.

this would be a good product to use. i use it on the wooden bowls that i turn on the lather.

Yes. The finish is safe for all food items such as cutting boards, wooden salad forks etc. Good product, a little pricey, works well. Best if thinned with mineral spirits. Great!

i dont think it would do much good as the laquer has sealed the wood.I think it would just smear as it couldnt soak in.

We have not stained the bowl. But its original finish is absolutely beautiful and typically the bowl is used daily to serve salads containing various oil and vinegar dressings serving five family members. No staining or color discoloration has occurred. The bowl is as new looking as the first time we have used it. The bowl has been used daily for over one year.

No. I used it on a 100 year old bread bowl. Worked great. Really restored the woods rich look. Great for almost any wood.

Yes, but as with any cleaner, it'd be best to test it somewhere inconspicuous first.Not all wood finishes have the same durability. Particularly as this has to dwell for 10 minutes to disinfect, less durable finishes might not hold up.

Yes, this product has actually held up very well thus far on our bathroom vanity. I would offer two suggestions. (1) Surface preparation as always with coatings is key. (2) The spray system with the kit had a tendency to sputter and want to clog up which would affect the finish. I ended up putting this in my paint gun I use for auto painting in conjunction with my air compressor at home. If you have these tools at your disposal it may make for a better finish. Hope this helps.

There shouldn't be a problem - to be on the safe side allow 3 days from the time you applied the stain to the time you apply the salad bowl finish - with some species of wood it can actually take that long for the stain to "bite" into the wood fibers. I haven't had a problem putting this product over stained surfaces (both oil and water based) however I do allow a 3 day set up time for the stain.

I am not an expert, but in order for the product to saturate the wood, it would be good to be as dry as possible. Gary

that wouldnt be a good idea. its meant for unfished wood (mix with water and paint or spray on) and youd be exposing yourelf to direct contact with poison and it probably wouldnt be very effective because it wouldnt penetrate the finish.

Absolutely, but keep in mind it is varnished and would probably have to sand the area you would be working on and then re-varnished.

No, I would not! It works perfectly on smooth, unfinished furniture - even unpainted but I would not recommend it for reclaimed would and certainly not crevices or chips in the wood. I have no idea what to use except for a good power sander and work down from several grades of sandpaper until it is more manageable.

I bought the salad bowl finish to keep my salad bowls from drying out. It was recommended by the man who made my bowl. I think it would work as water proof and water resistant but you never want to soak your wooden bowls in water. Just wipe them off with a damp cloth.

It should be just fine with that. I've cast bowls that were quite thick with it for turning. It will take a fairly long time to cure at that size and may not be entirely rigid like a piece of plywood at 40x40, but it should still work.

I can't see why not. We use it to refinish furniture, dressers, anything wood. I think if you get the right grit sand paper for it should work!

I use it in decorative crafts that aren't subject to scratches, dents or harsh weather. Don't know that it would hold up well for the project you describe. If you try, follow mix instructions closely or you'll have sticky goop.

I would think it would work for that. I have been successfully using it to sand cabinets and remove old lacquer and stain from them.

I would say it would get you a moisture meter to check your moisture in wood . I use distilled water and it is good for a week .It cant hurt it will keep from having dry cracks in finish and wood and improve the sound hope this helps Raymond
