Question 1

I'm intrigued by the possibilities of this floor. Are there room scenes to give a sense of scale? As this is not a click floor, can you cut the boards to be whatever length to do a customized chevron pattern? Is there precedent in mixing the two chevron floor panels together to add zig zag color patterns? Thank you for all you do, I am new here but absolutely love your website! View answer

Question 2

I am doing a down to the studs remodel of a frame house in a humid environment, and plan to paint the entire frame structure with CIM&MI. Given the highly alkaline finished PH, what is the long term effect on all the fasteners it comes in contact with, such as nails. Also, what are the risks to tradesmen working on the structure after that, drilling holes, sawing, installing new framing, etc? View answer

Question 3

I would like to order a shoe rack that is described as "Iron frame with satin pewter". This seems vague and it is from china. To be on the safe side, I would like to paint it with something to seal in any off gassing that may occur. Would this product be appropriate for that? I have always thought all these wire storage racks that you get from places like Home Depot are not likely to be toxic and I have many of those, not sure how true that is, but this shoe rack looks to be more of painted finish than the typical wire racks and has 'metal mesh' for shelves.

Question 5

I read on ECOS website in the SDS for this paint and their interior paints that this paint has suspected toxic ingredients and carcinogenic ingredients and that only 68% of the ingredients are of unknown toxicity. I am surprised that ECOS and Green Buildings Supply's Company promote their products as non toxic when the SDS on their website state otherwise? Please explain. Thank you. View answer

Question 12

I applied this product about 1 1/2 to 2 years ago on some outdoor furniture. I am ready to re-apply. The instructions make it sound like you have to sand when you re-apply. But, it sounds like, from another answer, maybe not. Is using the Rubio cleaner sufficient? Or, how does know if you need to fully sand or not? It seems pretty vague and the product instructions only say to sand if previously coated. They do not give you ANY information on the maybe/maybe not part. View answer
