We have an office made of beautiful Alder wood. It has had a terrible odor since we purchased the home. We researched and were told it may have been that the wood was diseased as the home was built in 1992 and the wood was shipped. Could we seal the walls with this product to get rid of the odor? Thanks. SAMPLE - AFM SafeCoat, Hard Seal Wood Stains & Sealers

If the odor is a chemical type, it could have been previously sealed with some solvent-based sealer. If that is the case, then three coats of Hard Seal will block those emissions. However, if it really is some organic type odor you could also try our AFM Odor Out which works on porous surfaces and blocks smoke, pet urine and other naturally occurring odors.
