Hi! I'm looking to seal some pet-smelly particle board "subfloors" from the 80s. The particle board is pretty long-term smelly, so we wanna make sure whatever we do to seal them works thoroughly. We did BINZ shellac on the subfloor in 2 rooms and it worked great. I'm not looking forward to doing more shellac, but I'll do it if it is what will work best. Would you say this safeseal product could be used in place of the shellac on top of the particle board or would safeseal be something to put on top of the shellac? Thanks!

Our AFM products will block VOC emissions but they won't eliminate pet odors. The Shellac works best for that. Unfortunately, most shellac has lots of VOCs and nasty odors. Apply two coats of our AFM Polyureseal BP on top and it will not only block the VOCs but will also provide a more durable finish that has more abrasion and moisture resistance.
