SAMPLE - Bioshield, Herbal Oil Q&A

Question 1

Could you compare BioShield Herbal Oil and AFM Safecoat Naturals Clear Penetrating Oil - why might I prefer one over the other? And does one of them "amber" the wood more than the other? I'm considering something for a new butcher block countertop which will have food on it - but I would like to tone down the appearance if possible. View answer

Question 4

Loving this product so far. However, I'm confused on what's the best protocol for sanding. I've heard that before applying oils/sealers, it's best to sand a little, as it 'roughs up' the surface a bit to allow for better oil penetration. Is this true? Also, on the official "Technical Information and Application" PDF for this product, it states "For best absorbency, all surfaces should be sanded NO FINER than #100". But this leaves the surface fairly rough - can I not sand it more finely, creating a smoother wood surface? Thanks a bunch! View answer

Question 5

It seems like most butcher block countertops are glued together using Type II wood glue, which could off gas formaldehyde. Will this product seal in the off gassing? Or is there another product that would? View answer
