I’ve only used plastic so far. A friend was moving and she gave me her wooden cutting board. I cut something with it, and some grease got on the cutting board. Now I can’t remove the yellow spot no matter what I do. What can I do to clean it?

    i’m not sure what yall are calling “dry” but generally when applying penetrating oil finishes, one applies a generous amount to the wood, waits a given amount of time, usually a 20 minutes to an hour, and then wipes off the excess. then you flip the rag over and wipe it again. then again. ultimately you want the rag to come back clean and then you’re done.

    that’s pretty much it. it’s as dry as it needs to be to be before buffing, waxing, or buffing and waxing the surface.

    if you’re waiting days for the oils to dry, it seems likely to me that you’re leaving way too much oil on the wood.
