Non toxic formula is safe for food contact once fully dry. Apply additional coats of cutting board oil after 6 hours for a deeper finish. Hand wash coated surfaces before contact with food and do not wash in dishwasher. From the Manufacturer Watco's specially formulated Butcher Block Oil & Finish allows for easy and safe maintenance of wooden butcher blocks, cutting boards, salad bowls and other items which require a food safe finish. Review: Gives a gorgeous, durable sheen, but respect the curing time. - I used this to seal a raw wood butcher block for a kitchen counter setup. I put a banana in the picture for scale, which is the only food I'd recommend putting near this wood until the finish is fully cured! Unlike standard mineral oil that washes away with dish soap after a few weeks, this actually contains resins that harden inside the wood fibers to create a long-lasting, water-resistant seal. WHY IT WORKS WELL: • The wipe-on application is completely foolproof. You just wipe it on with a lint-free cloth, let it soak, and wipe off the excess. • It leaves a beautiful, rich satin sheen that brings out the natural grain of the wood far better than basic oils. THE CATCH: • Because this is an actual finish and not just an oil, it has a strong solvent smell when applying. More importantly, while it dries to the touch in a few hours, you absolutely must wait the full 72 hours for it to completely cure before it is officially "food safe" for chopping or food prep. THE BOTTOM LINE: An excellent, highly durable finish for wood countertops and cutting boards, as long as you strictly follow the 72-hour curing rule. Review: Easy to use finish, great look - I’ve been using this finish for years. It’s an easy wipe on finish that you can build up to the desired gloss. What I really like about it is that if it wears off in a spot, you can give the surface a good cleaning or light sanding and recoat and it looks new. One of my uses is on our kitchen island. Where people sit ends up worn from plates. Super easy to refresh. ## Features - Made in United States ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Brand | Watco | | Finish Type | smooth | | Finish Types | smooth | | Item Form | Liquid | | Item Weight | 16 ounces | | Liquid Volume | 16 fluid ounces | | Material | Liquid | | Material Type | Liquid | | Recommended Uses For Product | interior | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Watco - **Finish Type:** smooth - **Item Weight:** 16 ounces - **Material:** Liquid - **Recommended Uses For Product:** interior ## Images ![Watco Butcher Block Clear Oil & Finish - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71m5N7u+NEL.jpg) ![Watco Butcher Block Clear Oil & Finish - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71HifyS+8wL.jpg) ![Watco Butcher Block Clear Oil & Finish - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/713G-mfeOGL.jpg) ![Watco Butcher Block Clear Oil & Finish - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81uIGMJtc9L.jpg) ![Watco Butcher Block Clear Oil & Finish - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71SDiWE9RwL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: I am planning on using this on a wood surface counter I am making for the in-law kitchen. Would this water proof the wood as well? Im putting a sink.** A: Yes it will waterproof very well indeed! I have a cutting board that my husband made me 3 years ago, I keep my knives butcher sharp and use my cutting board almost every day. I wish I could send a picture of how well it has stood up to my knives and washing it with warm water and mild soap every time! There are barely any marks on it, in fact it dulls my knives. I also made an umbrella stand from hardwood and finished with Butcher Block. We live in rainy Germany and there's not one water stain on it! I couldn't say enough about this product! You won't be sorry for using it. I would put at least 2 maybe even 3 coats on it if it's a counter top. It goes a long way because it isn't real thick, so I use thin coats but a couple should do you. Good luck! **Q: Looking for a watco butcher block finish that is a satin finish. which product will give me that?** A: This is not the product you want. It gives a high gloss finish, almost like glass. You might try a mixture of 3 parts mineral oil to 1 part bees wax, this will give you a nice satin finish, protect from water and is also food safe. **Q: Can someone tell me the ingredients. Thanks** A: what are the ingredients including type of oil? **Q: I sanded butcher block, wiped on evenly and finish keeps coming out blotchy even after light sanding What else can I do?,** A: Just a heads up. The longer Watco butcher block oil is exposed to air, while in the can, the thicker it will become. If the thicker product is then applied to a board, it will loose some of it's penetrating capabilities and will get tacky sooner. You may have also purchased something that's been on the shelf a while. Typically, it's very thin when fresh.That said, I always wipe off the excess within a minute or two, sometimes this will take some extra effort as it does become tacky. Stay vigilant with the removal of the excess oil as it will help eliminate those blotchy spots, so wipe it down well. FYI, some woods may tend to show some slight spottiness with Watco's despite the best vigilance on your part. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gives a gorgeous, durable sheen, but respect the curing time. *by J***N on May 30, 2026* I used this to seal a raw wood butcher block for a kitchen counter setup.
