To care for your resin charcuterie board, clean with a damp cloth. Never immerse in water. The wood can be wiped down with cooking oil occasionally if needed.
Using epoxy is just plain wrong for a cutting board. Mainly, the hardness of the epoxy will destroy a knife edge, might as well cut on a brick. If the end user is using ``beater'' knives, like Cutco, he might be okay for a while but the epoxy will destroy an edge.
Resin Safe for Incidental Contact Only: The resin surface is great for serving light snacks or displaying food, but it's not intended for long-term food contact or cutting. For any direct food prep, such as chopping or slicing, we recommend using the wood side of the board.
Epoxy resin is not heat-resistant at all. Your cutting board might warp, the resin might crack, and it may even release some toxic fumes from high temperatures, which may result from hot pots or pans resting on the resin surface area.
It is Non-Toxic, 100% natural and eco friendly. Highest quality resin powders can be mixed into any clear medium and applied to any surface such as charcuterie boards, trays, coasters and other kitchen accessories.
No it is not food safe. Chemicals can still leech out of the cured resin. Read this guide about 3D printing and food safety.
Wood and resin work really well together and the colourful resin can really bring out the beautiful detailing in the wood. Creating a wood and resin chopping board needn't be complicated and beginners can easily create a project that will make their friends/family/audience go wow.
Epoxy and resin make a hard and slippery surface that will ruin your knives and is unsafe because your knife can easily slip and twist as you cut.
A: Yes, the resin is safe for incidental food contact, which means it's perfect for short-term serving of light, dry snacks. For chopping or preparing food, we recommend using the wood side.
Mineral oil: This is a non-drying oil that soaks into the wood, coating the fibers and preventing them from absorbing moisture. It's safe for human consumption and doesn't wash off, making it a practical choice for charcuterie boards.
