I've used this oil for an oak worktop in my utility room and it's the business. The oil penetrates really well and I didn't need to recoat for a year. I can put several coats down with hour intervals one day and by the next it's ready to use. great finish too.....but does anyone know if it's ok for a kitchen worksurface? The company reps in this country say yes but aren't too clued up on exact details, like what it's got in it exactly. Can anyone help out? Thanks
