Always.  I use TruOil or stain then TruOil.  It makes box art pop, covers scratches and dings, and makes it less susceptible to moisture.

I do it a lot. Ya can look at my pics of Chantilly and Splinter pig to see two of my recent builds using watco danish oil on the box and in the case of Chantilly, I also use water based gloss poly over it.

I also use TruOil for the finish. I used Danish oil on my first one and it does well though TruOil is good because it has a tough finish (used on gun stocks) that will stand up to many years of finger play.

The Superglue adheres over the vegetable oil?
