Hi! Frequent shopper from your inventory. I have a new dresser in solid parawood to build for my son. I discovered that the back panels and bases to the drawers are plywood/particle board. I want to use the maple stain but which sealer is the best for sealing out any off gassing, that is also the safest for his clothing to touch? SAMPLE - AFM SafeCoat, Polyureseal BP, Matte Wood Stains & Sealers

In regards to coating particle board for encapsulation purposes, SafeSeal is best suited for the job. SafeSeal stops 100% of formaldehyde outgassing. See results here:https://www.greenbuildingsupply.com/core/media/media.nl?id=404766&c=772072&h=63
