I am not sure how to use the BioShield Floor Milk. Do you mix with water to use as a cleaner or straight from the bottle as a floor finish? I have Marmoleum flooring that is more than 15 years old and looks like it could use a little restoration. View answer

Question 3

We have a White Oak outdoor dining table that we just finished and are struggling with how to finish it. The person who built it suggested polyurethane for spar varnish. Our concerns are weather durability for hot sun and rain, food and drink spills, And we prefer a flat finish if possible. We live in California or the sun is hot! And we don't want to stress about water rings on the table... Would this be a good alternative to the options above? View answer

Hi Sasha,I asked earlier about the Rubio oil being adequate to seal formaldehyde. You said no and sent me a list of other products by AFM that would possibly work. The project involved is particle board walls which need to be sealed to be safe for me. Because I am so exquisitely sensitive to formaldehyde, it would need to be the best one. Can you let me know which one this would be? Thank you, Micheila View answer
