Question 12

I was wondering if you could ask AFM about whether Safeseal on plywood sheathing would stop water vapor from being able to pass from the inside of the house to the outside. I'm wondering if I am going to cause walls not to be able to dry to the outside because of this product. In a nutshell, does Safeseal affect the permeability of the plywood to allow water vapor to pass through? <BR>I'm reasoning if it stops off gassing of formaldehyde (gas) that it will also stop water vapor (gas) also. Is my reasoning faulty? View answer

Question 19

We recently bought a house with a wood front gate. It appears to be quarter sawn yellow pine. Whatever was used as the initial stain is now flaking off. You can rub your hand across the surface and it comes off down to the bare wood. This is the side of the gate that gets the afternoon sun. From what I have read, the PolyWhey Penetrating Exterior Stain seems to be the best choice. I have a couple of questions though. Will this stain work as stated on yellow pine? Can the stains be tinted as the Acorn Brown is not dark enough? Is there a darker color? View answer

If so I plan to coat that after with the poly whey product. I like it very much! View answer

Question 48

Does the tint of the stain make the wood look painted? I have weathered cedar pickets--some are very grey. About 25 years ago, when I applied boiled linseed oil to aged-grey pickets, it brought out the natural grains without a painted look. However, I am opposed to using a toxic product. I am trying to figure out if I should use the PolyWhey in a brownish color or the waterproofer; the challenge is I don't want a painted look, but I also want to revive the aged-grey pickets and restore some natural color. Any suggestions? View answer
