Real Milk Paint, Half and Half, Pure Tung Oil and Orange Peel Oil for Wood Finishing, Cutting Boards, Butcher Blocks, Clay, Stone, and Slate, Food Grade, 16 oz.

Im with you. I used to submerge my boards but after a bit of research, I found 2 or 3 coats of half&half tung oil & orange oil does the trick. Its thinner than straight mineral oil & soaks in much faster. Its more expensive but the pros out weigh the cons. Oil I use.
