Title: Non-toxic paint and stain
Post by: overfifty on May 25, 2014, 01:56:42 pm

I'm pretty sure non-toxic paints and stains for children's toys have been discussed previously but a search doesn't yield any results. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you, Barry.

Beeswax and mineral oil

If you ensure the paint or stain is manufactured in the US it will be non-toxic once cured.  To be safe use beeswax and mineral oil mix or shellac.
