craftgrrl | If you stain and then seal a pine cutting block does the stain have to be food safe? (Reply)

I know the seal does, but how about the stain?Also where do you get food safe sealers for wood products like cutting blocks?And can they be used in conjunction with a wood stain?

Also, My art corner is in a huge garage, it gets really HOT in the summer, there's no ac, no way to cool the garage, and somethings don't stand up well to that kind of high heat, would putting acrylic paints and my Guesso and stuff in a miniature fridge turned down low be a good solution to storing them in a temperature uncontrolled area and not having them keep cool and not ruin? What other solutions are handy for keeping supplies cool ish, in a non temperature controlled area that gets beastly hot? I'm thinking of some kind of insulated box, Styrofoam perhaps or chilled box or something.

And also, so this is sharing something and not just another text post, This is a receiving blanket I have done up this weekend. And the fabric for two more. I have chosen coordinating fabrics, or totally different fabric, feel like butterflies one day and paisley the next, simply flip the blanket over!
