Chopping board Paint
Question for the experts... What type of paint can be used on chopping board edges and a little section of the face on chopping Boards... I thought it was Milk Paint but recently informed this is not the case??

Not an expert, but search this forum for paint that is suitable for toys. From memory any of the standard water based paints were ok. Porters paints do a range of low voc paint no mention of food on their website.

BTW (or P.S.) for mine I used initially canola oil, I now use ubeaut food safe oil, forum sponsor. I have seen part painted boards but I prefer all wood look.

My understanding, and I'm happy for someone to point out otherwise, is that there is no Australian Standard that covers the suitability of a coating as a 'Food Safe' surface. Probably the closest you would get it certification for potable water use, however it is unlikely that many, if any, timber coatings have been tested against this.
Failing this, look for products which have low toxicity.

The question I have to ask is...WHY.
If you want a contrast or some sort of feature or logo...there are other ways.
The first to come to mind is burning or scorching or branding...controll of how long and how much heat can give you a colour from a soft yellowish brown tan right thru to chared black.
another is dyes or inks.
I seem to remember Ubeaut offer a pack of pretty strong non toxic water bassed timber dyes.
Making impressions and filling them with coloured epoxy..... which is toally innert once cured is another.
on a cutting board you want to steer away from any sort of film forming finish
cheersAny thing with sharp teeth eats meat.
Most powertools have sharp teeth.
People are made of meat.
Abrasives can be just as dangerous as a blade.....and 10 times more painfull.
