    Alternatively get 1 litre for $16 - https://www.bunnings.com.au/diggers-1l-paraffin-oil_p1560010

    When it comes to oiling new chopping boards, I just dump them in a big tub of paraffin oil I bought here https://www.rangeproducts.com.au/shop/raw-materials/paraffin… 20 litres will last me a loooong time.

      Very contentious issue but I use this

      https://foodgradeoils.com.au/product/food-grade-mineral-oil/

      5 litres delivered for about $54

      I did a lot of research before not getting Bunnings option.

        Not that contentious. The Bunnings stuff is food safe (it's sold as a protection layer for drinking water tanks). If they sold it as "suitable for chopping boards" they'd cannibalise their sales of chopping board oil which costs nearly 5 times as much.

        • I was talking about this sort of discussion

          • @itshammer: A fair amount of opinion masquerading as fact there. It's like "oxygen" and "medical grade oxygen". The only real difference is the standard to which the containers used are cleaned before filling. It all comes out of the same valve at the end of the production process. Having two different processes doesn't make economic sense.

            • @banana365: The Diggers product is kerosene. It's less refined than the medical/food grade products.

              Here's the safety sheet for the Diggers product:

              • @[Deactivated]: The Diggers product is paraffin oil, not kerosene. Coming from the UK, where we call kerosene paraffin, I've been caught out by that before (immediately clear I'd made a mistake from the smell when I opened the bottle). The MSDS for the "food grade" chopping board oil would be identical as, barring any nice smelling additives, it is paraffin oil.

      Ikea used to do pretty good and cheap chopping board oil but it's gone :-(

      But thanks for this recommendation as I will use this next time I need chopping board oil (Won't be for a while though)

      • Skydd?

        • Yep. Haven’t seen it instore or online in a little while

          • @Gunnar: That’s interesting. That is the stuff I use.

            • @try2bhelpful: It’s good arid right? I use it on my boards as well as cast iron. I haven’t seen it there in the last couple of months but not sure when they stopped stocking it

              I bought this scanpan stuff sometime ago but I’m yet to trial it

              • @Gunnar: It works well for me. I have about three, actual, chopping boards and a couple of “fancy” boards for cheese. I suspect I don’t oil them regularly enough though.

    some use sex wax for their boards

  • +7

    Perfect for when I wanna oil my wood.

  • Can I use this on my Cricket Bat?

    • +1

      No but you can use your cricket bat on the oil.

    What's wrong with olive oil? Been using it years for conditioning cutting boards…

    • +1

      me too. I also use it on leather furniture and all my boots. It doesn't cause leather to stretch like dubbin etc.

      I think the theory is vegetable/ plant oils can go rancid (smell a bit) after a long while, where mineral oil never will. Your experience suggests its a non issue, I've used both mineral and oilve over the years and they both seem fine!

      • +2

        for sure, I was aware of the theoretical issue too. It has never happened with me. For leather it is a very light oil and disappears quickly. I was originally told about this over 30 years ago by an Italian boot maker. The other beauty of it is that it is great for thin (split) leathers too, like watch straps.

    It's out of stock. I ordered anyway hoping they replenish. I've been wanting a bottle for months but too lazy to head out to Victoria's Basement where its the same price.

    Another option is liquid parraffin.
    It is sold in chemists, it's the same as the bunnings link but you can get it for approximately $6 in smaller quantities. I bought some (gold cross brand) the other day for a pizza oven bench I made.

  • I’ve used this to oil the fretboards of my guitars to recondition them. Great stuff and works well.

  • same price with matchbox
