[TheForge] Finishes for food contact items

[Riverbend Blacksmiths]

Thank you for your response Mike. An additional question, if I may.  
Once the roaster is used by the end-user, perhaps even once over a  
campfire or bbq, would I assume the wax would melt off? Even after  
its use and washing by hand, won't the beeswax wear off and have to  
be re-applied for fear of rusting? Beeswax to keep on-hand for the  
average end-use consumer, may be difficult to find. This may be a  
good solution to get the item initially out the door, but perhaps not  
a returning customer.
