The only commercially viable wax is paraffin, which is petroleum derived
>bamboo
All of the bamboo products for sale are glued together with petroleum derived adhesives and often finished with petroleum based products like mineral oil
- Clamchop 4y agoBecause mineral oil isn't a "drying" oil (it doesn't polymerize in air), it's an unlikely choice for finishing furniture because it stays greasy and will rub off on things. More likely is a drying oil, like linseed, or a synthetic finish, like polyurethane or epoxy.
