Oil From Boots?

[GrahamRounce]

Not an answer to the energy crisis, but... I'm making a cutting board in a hurry, and "mineral oil" seems to be the stuff to use to finish with. Only one question: what is it? :roll: Can I just go into Boots or the Sainsbury's pharmacy and ask for it? Or is there a brand of moisturiser or something I should look for?

And just rub it in and that's it? (No, I don't really believe it's that simple!)

Ta very much if you know,

Yes, it's that simple if you're stuck, Liquid Paraffin BP.

It's a bit thicker in consistency than the light version sold specifically as Food Safe Oil, it'll take a little longer to soak in and dry off that's all.

Was that intended the way I read it?
Thanks - I'll rub it in rather than the other way!

Ok, got it. 3rd port of call. That's 3 places'll be giving me sympathetic looks for a while.
Cheers!
