Food safe paints, lacquers and varnishes

Post by Not your average framer »

I'm seeking suggestions for food safe paint, lacquers, varnishes, etc., for an unusual handfinishing project.

Any suggestions will be gratefully received.

Thanks in anticipation,
Mark

I would try a phone call to the technical department of a manufacture such as Dulux, I've found them very helpful in the past, you could alternatively try Craig and Rose.

Hope you are keeping well Mark

Osmo TopOil is safe for food, humans, animals and plants once dry :D (haven't used any myself yet but about to buy some for our wood kitchen worktops)
