Question 13

Hi, I am seeking a plant based/environmental friendly sealer for my wood paintings. I use mineral and earth pigment paints, basically crushed pigment powder mixed with water. Would this be the recommended product to try on my pieces? I've used Acri-Soy in the past and it can smear the paints sometimes due to its consistency. My art is made with 100% plants so everything is an experiment, but I thought I would ask in case there may be a better suggestion. Thank you. View answer

I have particle board kitchen cabinets in a place built over 30 years ago. Only surfaces visible when the cabinets are closed have a laminate veneer. The insides and presumably the bottoms and and backs are uncoated particle board. I want to seal the surfaces I can reach - the insides. I have a full leftover container of AFM Hard Seal from another project. I noticed Polyureseal BP did best at blocking formaldehyde in the tests on your website. Would you recommend Hard Seal, Acrylacq, or Polyureseal BP? View answer

Question 16

I'm wondering how "semi-transparent" this product is... I need to restain/seal my backyard fence that is older and has different colors to it based on where previous shrubs blocked water from hitting the fence. I am not sure how a clear would look in this situation, but I also don't want my fence to look like I painted it brown; I like seeing the natural grain of the wood. I'm debating between the Caspian Clear and the Acorn Brown. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you! View answer

Question 31

My husband and I are planning a kitchen remodel and are considering putting in butcher block or wood countertops. We've never had wood countertops before and in doing some research found out that there can be a lot of upkeep with oiling monthly. We are also concerned about water damage to the wood around the sink area, or from someone leave a glass of water on the counter that may have some water on the bottom of the glass. Do you have a food-safe product that is also powerful enough for kitchen countertops to handle water and liquids? We may be good at trying to quickly wipe up water from the counter, but kids are another story! Also, how often would it need to be reapplied in the future after the initial application? View answer
