I always get a bit confused with this one!
What are considered food safe finishes and...
What I am looking for is a food safe finish for honey dippers if that makes any difference?
As quick drying as possible please!

Ikea do a oil mix thats used for chopping boards and worktops. I guess its mostly tung oil. I don't know of this is classed as food safe or not. I guess lemon oil and olive oil are..
Thanks for asking all those questions I need answers for :-)

Hey Paul... I guess we can learn together!
Thanks for the tip re Ikea! I am hoping to go on Monday for tea light holders so will take a look!
I am going to be using Olive for the honey dippers. I suppose my main concern was how to clean them after use if no finish is used. I have seen 'bare' dippers but they can't last too long with washing off the sticky honey... Can they?

As said no finish on honey dippers but wet with water after sanding to about 240 then sand with higher grades to get as good a finish as possible.
