Use and Care Manual

HEVEA
USE & CARE INSTRUCTIONS:
• The butcher block MUST be sealed or finished on
all surfaces within 48 HOURS of removing
the shrink wrap.
• When sealing with mineral oil or conditioner,
apply an even, liberal coat of conditioner on all
surfaces and let absorb for approximately 20
minutes. Wipe off any excess with clean towel.
Re-apply as necessary.
• If you are staining your block, we recommend
Hardwood Reflections stain and clear
top-coat. Make sure to stain before using any
other finishing product.
• There are several other options for finishing your
butcher block – please see Home Depot’s paint
sales specialist for more information.
• If you notice any grain raise with oil or other
sealants, you can lightly sand the top with fine
grit sand paper.
• General use and cleaning of this top will require
frequent application of conditioner or mineral oil
to extend the life of the product. Frequency may
range from every few weeks to every few months.
• If finished properly, this surface can be used
for food prep; however, we recommend that a
cutting board or mat be used to preserve the life
and look of the block.
• Always clean your work top surface before and
after each use.
