Question 2

I build custom recording studio furniture, mainly desks. I'm currently using solvent based stain and a pre cat lacquer spray for the finish. I'm looking for a new approach that can be applied faster, and doesn't require the loss of brain cells (even with a respirator I can smell the lacquer as I spray). Rubio Monocoat seems to be advertised for wood flooring, but would it be suitable for a daily use desk? View answer

Question 19

I need to stain joists that I will be using to rebuild part of my deck. The boards are pressure-treated 6X10s that have been cut into four-foot lengths. All the info I can find online about preparing lumber so that stain will adhere to it recommends toxic products. Everything I read says that if you don't prepare the boards the stain won't adhere. That is a particular problem since I live at 9,000 feet in Colorado where we have bitter, snowy winters. Is there something you have that I can use to prepare pressure-treated boards for staining that does not contain toxic chemicals? View answer
