I recall that you said there's no difference between Safe Seal and Hard Seal when it comes to reducing off gassing... that the only difference is the finish... did I understand that correctly? Could either be used to seal the exposed under- and back-sides of an old laminate kitchen countertop? I'm guessing the exposed parts are compressed particle board. SAMPLE - AFM SafeCoat, Hard Seal Wood Stains & Sealers

AFM Safecoat Safe Seal was designed for porous surfaces like wood, composites, plywood, MDF, OSB, chipboard, etc. AFM Safecoat Hard Seal was designed for non-porous surfaces such as lacquered or painted surfaces like fiberglass, etc. Both were made to seal off-gassing of VOCs. Hard Seal dries hard, and Safe Seal dries softer to the touch.
