Question 7

I'm looking to paint a bathroom cabinet and a piece of furniture, but I am having trouble deciding between the ECOS brand and AFM Safe Coat. Which one is best if I'm going for the most eco-friendly, non-toxic option? Are they comparable or does one stand out? I read somewhere that the ECOS contains mildewcides and AFM does not, but I don't know if this is accurate. Do you know or can you confirm that this is the case? View answer

Question 22

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?

Question 40

Hello,I used Klean Strip Green Adhesive Remover to remove floor adhesive from 8'x10' cement floor. I did my best to clean it up afterwards. Then I used DRYLOK Floor & Wall Masonry Waterproofer to seal the cement. After letting the small room air out for a few weeks using a large fan and fresh air, there is a strong odor that is bothersome and irritating to my eyes and nose. It seems to be the Klean Strip Green Adhesive Remover odor that is still off gassing after 6 weeks.Will AFM SafeCoat Hard Seal be the correct product to seal in this odor?Thanks,Kevin View answer

Hi there, I'm doing a cedar T&G cabin restoration and I'm looking for a clear coat that will not change the natural look whatsoever. My client had a mold problem due to no ventilation, humid climate & no circulation. I sanded and prepared all the cedar for paint. My clients love the look of the natural cedar, they want to keep this look but every transparent product I've tested so far darkens it. She also wants a gloss on the ceilings and flat on the walls which is basically asking for the impossible to have a variation in the colors but keep the natural Cedar color. Is there a clear or water based transparent product that has had success with this? Any suggestions would be sincerely appreciated! View answer
