Foodsafe sealing of rolling pin

[Allan at Wallan]

Having just made a rolling pin from pine
I expect to have to seal it with something
before it gets covered in flour etc.

Have made an extensive search within Forums
without success.

Any clues please.

Personally I wouldn't bother, but if you must, I would use Parifin oil aka mineral oil

I dont think I have seen a RP that was sealed.

use some of our sponsors product Ubeaut. There are a few there that are food safe.

Otherwise just wipe it over with whatever you cook with Canola Vegetable Olive Oil whatever. Just something to keep the moisture out.

Best finish for rolling pin. Sand very finely 1200 grit at least.

Simple eh.

Oh sorry.... you're looking for something more.

Nup. There is no more.

If you really must you could burnish it with a bit of brown paper or something else or..... Nup there really is no more. Leave it alone.

my rolling pin was given to me by a aged relative. shed be 110 now,
now im not a pastry cook and use it maybe 3 times a year, but despite the kids playdough its still waterproof

Thanks for your interest everyone.

The solutions provided should satisfy
my wife and I can look forward to some
scones or other tasty delights.
