You guys are the best,I know some place had it just thought I'd ask the wise IAP community.I'm making some bowls and spoons so need something as a food safe finish.Thank You again,Victor
You need mineral oil ?? Okay here's what you do.
1) get a couple 5 gallon buckets and a 22 cal pistol.
2) walk around the neighborhood until you find a pole with a big thingamajig up at the top (that 's a transformer for those of you that don't speak southern)
3) put the buckets under the thingamajig.
4) shoot a hole in the bottom of the thingamajig with the pistol.
5) wait a minute then grab the buckets and run before the cops show up.
You should now have plenty of mineral oil in the buckets, especially if you are a good shot.
(actually I was watching How it's Made one night and they showed the making of the transformers. They are full of mineral oil.)

I just picked up some from Walgreens and they had it on sale from about $8 to $3.79.Victor
Sorry, new guy here...so you just apply mineral oil to the bowl instead of say linseed oil? And that's your finish? I'm assuming you sand and Micromesh before adding the mineral oil?
Sorry if I sound stupid, but am learning the bowl making thing myself and am curious as to what to use so that we could actually use the bowls for something like a salad bowl. If I'm off base here, tell me.
