What is the material used for the bottom of IKEA dresser drawers? It is almost paperlike with a very spongy porous bottom. Will this work for that? They lined the top with white liner. I put safeseal on the bottom sides and it absorbed it right up. Now it's a darker color. The dresser itself is pure pine so I didn't' think there would be smell. But there is a very sawdusty smell with the dresser in the room and it increases when opening the drawers so I suspect it is from the drawer bottoms. There is still smell. Will additional coats help? Or will it just ruin the papery material? SAMPLE - AFM SafeCoat, Safe Seal Wood Stains & Sealers

Not knowing what that material is, AFM suggests perhaps more coats. But, without knowing what it is exactly, they said it's just a trial to see if it works or not as their products don't work on everything. We sell sample sizes for just this kind of testing.
