I applied Bioshield Primer #5 then Bioshield Hardwax (#11 I think) to my floor 12 years ago. I have cleaned the floor since , but never reapplied any oil or wax products since. The whole floor still look great even after all these years, except for some high traffic areas. How do I treat those areas? Do I need to refinish the entire floor? View answer

Question 4

I use 1.5" rigid (styrofoam) foam insulation boards in the window wells of our passive solar home to keep the sun out in the summer. However the styrofoam sheds and makes a mess on the floor. I'm looking for something to seal the boards so that they will not shed. Will the SafeCoat Safe Seal product be the best choice. I do not want something that will remain sticky as I take them on and off periodically. Please advise? View answer

Question 5

Hi! I'm looking to seal some pet-smelly particle board "subfloors" from the 80s. The particle board is pretty long-term smelly, so we wanna make sure whatever we do to seal them works thoroughly. We did BINZ shellac on the subfloor in 2 rooms and it worked great. I'm not looking forward to doing more shellac, but I'll do it if it is what will work best. Would you say this safeseal product could be used *in place of* the shellac on top of the particle board or would safeseal be something to put on top of the shellac? Thanks! View answer

Question 6

Would this be safe to use to seal a cabinet that will hold dishes for food use (I want to seal the entire inside and outside of a cabinet that will hold plates and cups). Would it be safe to eat off of those dishes if they were kept in a cabinet sealed with this, or is there a more food-safe product we can use? Looking for a matte finish! Also, not sure if this cabinet has a small amount of a water- or oil-based varnish on it already. Which products that would be safe to put food dishes on top of should we order samples of? We'd like to encapsulate potential harmful chemicals on the furniture, while being able to safely store the dishes and wipe down the shelves with non-toxic cleaner, as able. Any recommendations? Thank you! :) View answer

I have been searching everywhere and I cannot find a solution to how to remove polywhey. I understand that it is a good product but I do not like the look of it on my indoor trim at all. I cannot find product lists, and when I called the company all they would tell me is that it contains whey and that I should sand it off. Given that this is an indoor application, that just isn't feasible. Everything has a solvent but I just can't figure out (short of using a horrible paint stripper) how to remove it without sanding?
