Best Answer

It depends on the construction of the cabinet. I use 3/4 inch good one side ply for the backs of my cabinets. I dado the edges so that they fit into the groove I put in the gables. If you are putting the back on the outside of the gables you can use 3/16 inch plywood.

What kind of mineral oil is used on wood cabinets?

I never used mineral oil on cabinets, I would think that will be too heavy to use and will attract dust and dirt. I have mix 60% baby oil and rest white distilled vinegar in a 32oz spray bottle. Spray directly on kitchen cabinets and drawers let sit for 10 minutes then wipe clean. the baby oil is light and do leave a shine and the vinegar actually clean the cabinets. This advice is for oak cabinets only, I never used mixture on cherry, pine, or other cabinets.
