If food contact is likely then wouldn't a vegetable based product be better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tancrède Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Mineral oil does not turn rancid - and is entirely edible, as many of us who have been children will remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gosub Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 As stated by Gengulphus, the French name is Huile Minérale, also it can be used to get you going, if you know what I mean[:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rides Posted May 28, 2008 Author Share Posted May 28, 2008 Thank you all for being so helpful (unlike another Forum where I seem to have attracted some critics). I will go to the Pharmacy toute suite - well tomorrow anyway. Merci beaucoup mes amis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil & Pat Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Ah... liquid paraffin then? My understanding of the term mineral oil was the sort of stuff I used to buy at Halfords under the name Duckhams or Castrol.Seriously though, the chaps who hang about in the Working with Wood section might have some better suggestions for you. Ask what they would use for a wooden salad bowl or a goblet, I have honestly never heard of liquid paraffin being recommended before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
