New hardwood floors were stained and sealed with water based polyurethane. 4 months later, I still smell things in our home. I believe it is coming from the flooring. Would this product be able to go right over the boards, and does it seal in whatever might be coming through? SAMPLE - AFM SafeCoat, Polyureseal BP, Matte Wood Stains & Sealers

Yes. Lightly sand before applying to allow the product to better adhere. Follow application instructions that can be found on our website.Poly BP is great for sealing in off-gassing chemicals (formaldehyde and other wood preservatives) - so if that is the problem, that should help.
