How to use

Storage
Store in a cool, dry place. Use within 12 months.
Safety
Fully food-safe once absorbed. Contains coconut-derived oil; fractionation removes almost all coconut protein, but anyone with a severe coconut allergy should take care. Do not use on boards with deep cracks or damage. Keep out of reach of children.
