xgame2k Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 I got a poly board made by catskill. Description: -Hygenic -Dishwasher Safe -Microwave Safe -Knife Friendly -Non-Stick Surface -Easy to Clean Link to comment
jeremai Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 give it a good scrub and rinse, but it should be fine. Link to comment
supernip Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 does the maker post the material on the board or online? Link to comment
jeremai Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 they're high-density polyethelyne. Link to comment
supernip Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 i know, but im not sure if all of them were. and if the material itself has an antimicrobial component that might leech Link to comment
jeremai Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 fair enough. the actual composition might not be listed on the packaging, but any antimicrobials would be, since it's a selling point. I guess the best bet is to buy the cheapest brand you can find. Link to comment

supernip Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 its probably fine though. if anything, its probably just a coating. Or you could return it and get a board from tap plastics Link to comment
xgame2k Posted June 28, 2010 Author Share Posted June 28, 2010 thanks. Would I have to order one online or can I find them at a walmart /target kind of store? -also would a soak in vinegar get rid of the coating? Link to comment
JerseyChick Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 you must first paint it with that high quality ink/paint from china Link to comment
neuwave Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 I wouldn't worry about any coating unless stated on the package that it has been treated with a micro-bacterial layer. The cutting boards should be harmless, if you don't believe me just call wide world corals. They have them lining the bottom of one of their show tanks. The tank is in perfect health. I like sand better but to each their own. I saw their tank today at their aniversary party, definitly a great looking tank. Just too many chalices and not enough acros...lol. Link to comment
