A bedroom I painted with zero VOC paint still smells after a year and makes me sick (gives me a headache and sinus congestion). it's a sweet odor that my husband can barely smell, but it's very strong to me. I'm very sensitive to chemicals. Will the AFM HardSeal safely seal in any off gassing that is occurring? SAMPLE - AFM SafeCoat, Hard Seal Wood Stains & Sealers

You may use HardSeal, but then you'll have very shiny walls as it's only gloss. If you prefer a less shiny wall, use the AFM Safecoat Acrylacq, instead. It is formulated to be used over most water based products. Order a small sample online to test first.
