Question 7

our walls were painted with PPG paint and now I am getting a skin rash from the off gassing. saw that the can had a warning about this. a preservative called KAPHON is in it and through allergy testing I am allergic to this. Do you have a product that would seal this in and allow me to paint it with a similar color that's non-allergenic? it's not the odor that's the problem but this chemical that is being used wide spread as a preservative.

Question 12

Hi there, I'd like a softer feel under foot and would like to use two layers of carpet padding because of the hard concrete floors. Would either this Nature's Carpet or the Earth Weave equivalent allow two layers one on top of each other without any thing to attach both layers? From bottom to top: concrete, two layers of carpet padding, then the carpet. Also, would a moisture barrier be needed if laid on top of concrete on the ground level of a single storey house without a basement? Thanks for taking time to consider my questions. View answer
