Vermont Natural Coatings Exterior Penetrating Water Proofer is an exterior grade product that will ONLY work on raw (unfinished/uncoated/unstained) wood and can not be coated with anything afterward as it makes the wood waterproof (and thusly additional coats will not be able to bond with the surface). It also has zero abrasion resistance so we would not recommend this for countertops or places where food is prepared. While it is non-toxic, it is not food-grade.If you are preparing your raw food directly on your wood surface and not on cutting boards and the like, we have two better options. Bioshield Herbal Oil #2 is a food grade sealer for use on food surfaces such as butcher blocks, wooden counter tops, salad bowls, wooden utensils and cutting boards. There's no need for other sealers on top if it is maintained regularly. Another option is AFM Safecoat Naturals Clear Penetrating Oil which is also food grade, i.e. edible. The other oils and coatings on our website are all safe and non-toxic, but not edible like these two.
