Looking at Sheet Marmoleum (115 yr. old home). Subfloor is 3/4" tongue & groove boards. In order to bring the floor to the same level as the rest of the house I plan to cover with 3/8" plywood and a 1/4" layer of underlayment before the Marmoleum. I've spoken to installers and reviewed docs on Forbo's / your website and I see what NOT to use, nobody tells me WHAT to use for underlayment. Installer Suggestions : Luan (not recommended) or 4x4 OSB panels (definitely not recommended) or 1/4" sheets of sanded one side plywood with Ardex feather finish to fill/level seams (is that doable?). I don't know who to believe, tell me exactly what should be used, so I don't get any seams telegraphing or problems with installation. (I'm in Canada btw.) View answer

My dad has fabricated a hunting cabin using an existing metal building. The interior has been enclosed in plywood on ceilings and walls, insulated with roll-out insulation in between the metal walls and plywood. We used caulking and glue to seal in all the spaces and cracks. The building seems to be off-gassing, and it actually made him sick a few days after he stayed in it last year. I want to seal it before he comes back in November. I talked to an ecoadvisor, was recommended the HardSeal since we are not planning on painting, keeping the natural, rustic look. The cabin is 440 sq ft, how many gallons will I need to cover with one coat? I will need to coat the ceilings too, basically the whole interior. I plan on using a sprayer. View answer

Looking at the PermaBond/DeckRevive combo to fix weathered front step and back porch (100+ year-old house). Paint on the wooden railings is flaking / deck boards are chipping heavily.1. The instructions say you mix both products with a gallon of paint. If I use both PermaBond & DeckRevive, do you mix PermaBond with paint, or just Deck Revive as that's the final coat?2. Can I use stain instead of a paint? I'll paint the railing white, but I'd rather stain/seal the floor boards.3. Will I need to use another sealer after these two are applied?4. Do you have a product that can repair rotten wood? I've used epoxies (toxic?) before. Instead of replacing the rotten wood, I wondered if there were small job alternatives (like railings/window sills) View answer
