My hubby and I bought an unfinished wooden kitchen island cart-like thing. The idea is to have extra space in both the kitchen and on the deck (for grilling). He bought a sealer without reading on the container--it's an outdoor sealer, which is why he bought it (I think)--and it's not really food safe. But it's been applied.
The issue is that I really wanted to be able to use the top as a prep station, indoors and out. So I really had not planned to seal the top with this sealer--just the shelves and legs. But now it's done. The wood is still raised a bit after the two coats he applied. So it either needs something else done to it or needs to be sanded and started over.
So, should we apply something over the top of this sealer, or should we sand this down lightly to remove the sealant and just reseal with mineral oil or food-safe wax? Or is it too late for food-safe products at this point?
(And if this has been covered elsewhere, I'm sorry--I did look and look for an answer, but didn't find anything.)
Thanks!
