Care & Maintenance
Do not let the board sit while wet and do not place in a sink or submerse in water.
This is natural wood and it will warp and or crack if water is allowed to soak into the board. Our Board Conditioner will help with this.
Never wash the board in a dishwasher. Do not use in the microwave or oven or use as a hot plate.
Use the K & P Designs Crafts Board Conditioner. If board is used as a display, condition once every 2-3 months. If the board is used regularly, condition once or twice a month depending on usage.
More may be required depending on how dry the board gets. For best long term care, use conditioner anytime the board is starting to look and or feel dry.
Use Conditioner on all sides and edges every time. Constant one-sided application will allow the dry side to breathe more than the conditioned side. This can cause warping.
Do not use edible type oils for conditioner (olive oil, vegetable, sunflower etc.) as they spoil and get rancid.
UV light will darken all woods. It will also pull the red and purple out of the exotics and turn them brown. Do not store in direct light or in a very naturally lit room as this will darken the woods rapidly and the exotics will lose their luster and colour.
To clean, wipe with a warm soapy cloth. Do not submerge the board in water. Towel dry and let the board dry completely in a rack or on its side standing up.
It is best to store boards in a perfectly flat area or standing it up on its side to prevent warping. If left lying flat it is best to have feet on the board so both sides can breathe.
