Monte Cristo,

I still have a problem with a general statement like: ”I think it is Bob Flexor who says any fully cured finish is basically food safe, and he should know.”

Lead based paints are toxic no matter how old they are and at one time they did come in clear. Then there are some of the alkyd Enamels… highly toxic if ingested after curing. (My father in law lost a lung and half of his kidney functions from refinishing a type of Alkyd enamel when working at a hospital as maintenance).
