Hello Lemmy,
Youve been so helpful over the last few months. Maybe someone can help me with this.
I have this butchers block countertop with an undermount sink. I had it installed 18 months ago. I sealed it, and then this part was being warped and forced apart. I put in wood block, I resealed it. But as you can see, its coming apart again.
I followed all the advice of the handy men I know, including the one that installed it. The only thing I can think of is, aside from reblocking and sealing it, maybe a line of silicon around where the faucet comes up, and around the lip where the sink is flush with hole its mounted in, both things they assured me wouldn't be necessary. Should I be concerned about a leak on the underside? Am I just hosed?

With a poly coating on there it’s more difficult to say.
Personally I keep an eye on the colour of the wood. When it starts to look dry and pale, it’s time.
The wood will let you know, it will stop soaking the oil and wax and you then wipe off the excess and start buffing.
It may let oil seep out for a few days after, as it adjusts. Just wipe that away. Food grade mineral oil (which I use for all my boards) is non toxic, but it is a laxative, so do wipe up and excess before using the board 😁
