I like to use a combination of melted parrafin and mineral oil. I put
the board in a warm oven and heat it up to 200 or so, and then I melt the
wax in some mineral oil in a saucepan. I paint this onto the warm board
and let it soak in. The warmth allows the wax to stay liquid until it
soaks well into the wood.
