Question 1

I just coated a table in Rubio Monocoat and it looks beautiful, but I was hoping to do another layer of something to make it more water-resistant and durable since this will be a well-used kitchen table. What would you recommend that is food-safe or food-grade? View answer

Question 9

How do you compare this product (Rubio Monocoat Hybrid Exterior Wood Protector) and Bioshield Penetrating Oil Sealer? I am looking to use something to reseal and protect my exterior eucalyptus wood furniture that has had some lacquer finish in the past but is capable of accepting oils at this time. The furniture company itself recommends a linseed or teak oil (but a generic one with chemicals of course). View answer

I've read everything and still don't understand. Do I need to purchase other products to use this kit? I know I need a gallon of gloss paint, but I'm seeing links to other products as well.

Hi Sasha,I asked earlier about the Rubio oil being adequate to seal formaldehyde. You said no and sent me a list of other products by AFM that would possibly work. The project involved is particle board walls which need to be sealed to be safe for me. Because I am so exquisitely sensitive to formaldehyde, it would need to be the best one. Can you let me know which one this would be? Thank you, Micheila View answer
