Review on 🧴 Optimized Care and Maintenance Set: Boos Block MYSCRM Essential Mystery Oil and Board Cream Combo - 16 oz. Bottle Mystery Oil and 5 oz. Tube Board Cream Included by Jim Roberts

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The perfect combination! It's so easy to keep the board as good as new.

I was totally won over by this product. It's a zen moment in the morning after coffee, when nobody's distracting me, I just put oil or cream on the board with my bare hands. I like it. <Preachy> In today's throwaway society, it seems odd to spend a few minutes each morning on a board that you could probably replace annually for less than the cost of servicing it. And that's how we went so wrong. </Preachy>Oil the board regularly and smear it with cream from time to time. Both are important, but the oil is more important and requires more frequent use. The oil penetrates the wood and protects it. The cream seals the oil on the board. Every time I put the board in the sink and wipe it down, the hot water attacks the cream and then the oil. some cream) followed by a basic application once a month (oil, let dry for two days, cream and let dry for 2 days). Oil, wait a few days, then cream. Do both sides of the board, so only four days. Boos recommends simply wiping off any excess the next day. I found that two days of oil soaking told me how dry the board was. If there is any excess after two days, I wipe it off before applying the cream. Then I left the cream for two days. Usually not much left to wipe off in two days.
