Question 4

The room I want to put this in is a living room that has large picture windows on almost all sides and we get a lot of direct sunlight. The room is 30 x 17 and I am wondering if it will fade. If I put a rug in the middle of the living room and pick it up a year or two later will I be able to see that where the rug was is darker, that a lot of the floor has faded? Thanks. View answer

Question 5

I have recently stripped some wallpaper and am now left with drywall that has some glue and quite a few little places where th drywall paper covering has pulled away. My understanding is that the conventional process to deal with this is to apply an oil based sales, then skim coat, then sand, then prime and paint. I am looking for something less toxic for the first two steps of this process(oil based sealer and skim coat with joint compound). Would this project work in lieu of the oil based sealer? If so, would it be ok to do a skim coat over it? View answer

Does AFM SafeCoat, Concrete Floor Paint block formaldehyde emissions? At first I was looking at AFM Safecoat Safeseal to put on part of the concrete floor to seal in formaldehyde, but that's only for plywood type surfaces apparently. But I liked that one because it blocked/sealed formaldehyde 100% and was very low VOC (around 22). View answer

Question 47

Hello, I have one of these boards but recently found out the resin that was used is phenolic formaldehyde. Just the mention of anything formaldehyde gave me a scare so I searched the web for answers. The internet being like it is I found plenty of "organic mom" blogs saying the use of these boards is basically equivalent to poisoning your entire family. So I was very surprised to see you guys selling them. I am a customer of your paints and sealants and I trust you, so seeing this makes me feel better - but perhaps you can explain what makes these boards safe and nontoxic for food prep. I understand urea formaldehyde is the bad guy but why is the phenol variety ok? Is it possible it could leach into food during use? View answer
