I'm installing maple butcher block countertop in a basement kitchenette where we will be using a drop in sink. I will be using a cutting board finish mix of Mineral Oil and Paraffin wax on the countertops. I plan on sealing the sink cut out edges with Poly since I can't re-oil that area easily, but I am wondering about the order of finishing with oil and caulking the sink in place? I've always used DAP kitchen caulk to seal the edge of the sinks to the countertop, but do I need to apply the calk and let it cure before using the oil and wax finish, or does it make no difference which order it is done in? I'm concerned about the caulk from being able to seal properly against the oiled wood? I realize we will need to be vigilant to not leave water on these countertops, but with teenagers in the house, who knows....
Thanks,
