Anything I make that is 'food related' I put through a M.O. rubdown, let set for 24 hours and then do it again. After the 2nd application I let it rest for 72 hours before using.

May not be the USDA Federally Approved way but it is My Way and I am sticking with it!!!

Yea I let my stuff set for about two days. But I use a mineral oil beeswax paste that is easy to make... it gives a little more water resistance than just mineral oil..

Hey shiela, if she is turning them on a lathe I definitely recomened the beeswax paste. It is simply two ounces of pure pure beeswax melted into one cup of mineral oil.. it is very easy to apply on the lathe.. just pour the mixture into a Mason Jar, put on the lid and you have your own friction polish...
