What’s the difference between KingsFleet Cutting Board Oil, Danish Oil, and Boiled Linseed Oil?
KingsFleet Cutting Board Oil is a food-safe finish made for butcher blocks, cutting boards, and kitchen utensils. Danish Oil and Boiled Linseed Oil are better suited for furniture and décor projects—offering a more durable, water-resistant finish but not intended for food-contact surfaces.
Can I use Danish Oil or Boiled Linseed Oil on cutting boards?
No. Only KingsFleet Cutting Board Oil is food-safe and recommended for cutting boards or kitchenware. Danish Oil and Boiled Linseed Oil are ideal for non-food applications like furniture, trim, or interior wood surfaces.
How often should I reapply Cutting Board Oil?
To keep your board protected and looking its best, apply KingsFleet Cutting Board Oil monthly or whenever the wood appears dry. More frequent use or washing may require more regular reapplication.
Do I need to sand the wood before applying these oils?
Yes. For the best finish and absorption, ensure the wood surface is clean, dry, and lightly sanded. This is especially important for raw or unfinished wood before applying Danish Oil, Boiled Linseed Oil, or Cutting Board Oil.
How long does it take each oil to dry or cure?
KingsFleet Cutting Board Oil absorbs quickly and can be buffed dry within a few hours. Danish Oil typically dries to the touch in 4–6 hours and fully cures in 24–48 hours. Boiled Linseed Oil dries faster than raw linseed oil but still requires 24–72 hours between coats for optimal results.
