How to Apply Cutting Board Oil and Board Cream
Once your cutting board is thoroughly dry, apply the oil directly onto the surface of the board. Be generous with the application, especially if the wood is dry or you just purchased the cutting board or butcher block. You want the surface to be dripping wet on all sides and we recommend using a small bar towel or new paint brush to spread the oil (try not to soak up the oil), as using your hands may lead to accidental splinters. Most importantly, let the oil soak into the cutting board for as long as possible, at least a few hours or overnight if possible.
To apply board cream, wait until the board is dry after washing or oiling, then apply a small amount of cream onto the board. Using a soft cloth, buff the cream/wax into the wood in a circular pattern, forming a thin coat. Repeat over the entire surface of the board and especially the sides. It's not necessary to let the wax soak into the board.
We recommended you oil your cutting board every month or when dry to the touch. Board cream should be applied at the same time as oiling.

How long should you cure wax melts for?
We now know that you will get the best possible scent throw from your wax melts if you allow them to cure.
However what is the ideal amount of time that you should leave them curing for?
Well the answer to that question is dependant on the type of wax that you have used to make your wax melts. Each type of wax has a different structure and properties.
Here is a list of the curing times for the most popular wax types used in making wax melts.
- Paraffin wax: wax melt curing time 2-3 days.
- Soy wax: wax melt curing time 10-14 days.
- Soy wax blend: wax melt curing time 7-10 days.
- Beeswax: wax melt curing time 7-10 days.
I know it seems like torture having to let your fresh wax melts cure for such long periods of time but trust me it will be totally worth it.
Clamshell wax melts and tarts are perfect for letting your wax melts cure successfully.
Types of Wax Used
First of all, there is soft and hard wax. "Soft wax requires a paper-like strip to be placed on top of the wax to remove it, Petak explains. Because of this, stray hair can be left behind. Still, the method might be beneficial to people with fine hair. On the other hand, hard wax hardens enough on its own to not need this paper strip. "It adheres to the hair, says Petak. "It’s often said that hard wax is a much less painful experience than soft wax for all parts of the body." Pain, however, is subjective, and some experts say hard wax tends to be less painful.
While every waxing studio will have its own steps, most places will follow these steps:
- Cleanse the Skin: Once you are comfortable on the bed, the wax specialist will ensure you are in a comfortable position and begin the cleansing process to remove any lotions, soap residue, sebum, and other impurities from the skin.
- Create a Protective Barrier: The next step is to apply an oil to create a protective barrier on the skin to ensure the wax only sticks to the hair and not your skin.
- Preparing the Wax While Consulting: While your waxer prepares the wax strips and/or warms the wax, you'll have a few minutes to discuss your wishes and ask any questions about the process.
- Hair Removal: Once the wax is ready, your esthetician will begin actually waxing you by applying either wax strips or warmed, hard wax to your skin. They'll then remove the wax strips in quick motions, which is what actually removes the hair. As the waxing continues, you should feel free to let your esthetician know if you'd like a break (or want to stop altogether) or if anything feels wrong. For a bikini wax, the actual waxing process will take about 15 minutes.
- Rejuvenate the Skin: Once the waxing is complete, your esthetician will apply a rejuvenating, moisturizing product to the freshly-waxed skin. It's usually a soothing, cooling gel texture that feels amazing.
Types of Car Wax
Most car wax varieties fall into one of three categories: paste, liquid or spray. Each type has its pros and cons, and the waxing process is slightly different depending on which kind you choose.
Paste Wax
Paste waxes will produce the best shine, last the longest after application, and are harder to waste than liquid or spray waxes, so it’ll be a while before you run out. However, the waxing process will take longer using paste than if you choose one of the other two types as it’s harder to apply, so some patience will be necessary.
Liquid Wax
Liquid wax is easier to use than paste, and if you find a trusted brand, it can last longer after application than it would otherwise. Just make sure you don’t use too much and leave behind large amounts of residue. Excessive residue can make buffing the wax off at the end notably harder.
Spray Wax
Once you’ve weighed your options and chosen your wax, you’re ready to start!
