Hi All,

   Last I heard "ALL" commercial finishes were food safe

     ***** " AFTER THEY HAVE FINISHED CURING " *****

this can take up to a month for some of the harder spar
varnishes and urethanes, particularly the polyurethanes.
The ones that are a problem are the "home made" finishes
with who knows what additives. Wouldn't touch those on
a bet connected to food.
