Non-toxic paint and stain
« 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.

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.

Junk is something you've kept for years and throw away three weeks before you need it.
