EARTH DAY FLASH SALE 2026 Q&A
Activity timeframe
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

I am not clear if I order this product if it comes with Part B or 2 or do I need to order that separately. Please advise. View answer

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

I was wondering how would this product react on brand new western cedar walls and ceiling? Would the product stop the wood from discoloration from aging? Cedar in particular changes color dramatically with time so I was wondering how would a white color monocoat finish look on cedar after a 1-5 years? View answer

How long after doing the three-step system will I know how much of the odor is blocked? After step 3 has dried will I immediately know if it worked well enough? We bought a new house with a strong new carpet smell. If sealing doesn't remove enough of the smell we will replace the flooring. View answer

We moved into a house with an old carpet and we know for a fact the prior owners used lots of chemicals on their lawn. They left a garage full of them. Is this something we can use to clean and "encapsulate" any chemicals left in the carpet or is the only way to replace the whole carpet? Thank you! View answer

Hi, I have just moved into a rental property that has had new carpet and underlay installed about 2 weeks ago. I have MCS and don't think either carpet or underlay is low VOC. Can I treat just the carpet with this system or will I need to also treat the underlay? Ideally, I wouldn't have to remove the carpet and can fix the problem by sealing just the carpet itself.

Hi there. The synthetic carpet in the house we recently purchased was apparently fitted in 2015. The info provided about AFM's Carpet Seal suggests that you might only need to use this is the carpet is under 4 years old. Is this true? And is this because carpet backing has typically stopped off gassing after 4 years? If I don't need to use the Carpet Seal, would you still recommend using AFM's Carpet Lock Out to prevent off gassing of the fibers? If so, does this product also need to be re-applied on a yearly basis and how long do the fibers typically continue to offgas? View answer

I installed new carpet two years ago, but I could not stand the new carpet smell. Like a fool, I looked up on the internet what would reduce the smell and found out about baking soda. I sprinkled baking soda on the carpet and let it sit for 24 hours. The smell is pretty much gone. But since then I have not been able to get rid of the baking soda in the carpet. It gives me a sore throat and nose bleeds because every time I vacuum the small baking soda particles go back into the air and dries it out. No matter how many times I vacuum or carpet clean I can't get all the baking soda out of the carpet. Will this product seal the the baking soda in the carpet, so there is not an issue with fine dust in the air anymore? View answer
