How to make a wooden table food safe?

[Julie65]

I'm wanting to put stickers onto an outdoor wine glass picnic table and then seal it all with a food grade finish. Is it possible to do this with stickers on the wood?

Hello @Julie65 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about your wine glass table.

You can imbed the stickers onto the table using Boyle Crafty Resin 1L (500ml+500ml) kit, but it won't be food safe. Using the traditional products such as beeswax and food safe oils is one way to seal the table, but you won't be able to put the stickers on them. As a possible design alternative, have you considered using an Ozito 30W Wood Burning Kit to decorate and draw the dragonflies onto the surface of the timber table? 

Once you've etched your design on the surface of the table you can then use either a traditional sealer or the Cabot's 1L Satin Clear Benchtop Timber Finish to seal the table.

If you need further assistance, please let us know.

Thank you Eric for your quick response. I did feel if I was to oil it the stickers wouldn't adhere.
As for etching it burning into the wood, this gal has absolutely no drawing skills or abilities, hence the stickers lol. I did end up buying a tin of Monocel Timber Benchtop Oil. Now that I look at the tin and see the word 'oil' on it I'm a bit worried. Although this was recommended by one of the staff members. If all this works I'll update this. If it doesn't, you hear and see me crying and rocking in the corner lol
