Question 4

I was hoping to use this on patio furniture, but I see that it is interior only. The furniture is under a deck and will not be directly rained on, but will be exposed to extreme humidity (I live in Mississippi) and the occasional rain blowing in. Will this product work or is there another that is recommended? View answer

Question 5

I am wanting to use your Rubio Monocoat, Oil Plus 2C, Interior Stain Kit on my HEMLOCK flooring. I would love to finish to look like the current sanded raw wood. We sampled the PURE (clear) and it added a sheen and a slight amber. Do you have a color you would suggest it I want the wood to appear 'untreated'? I know it needs some sheen as a matte finish shows everything.Thank you View answer

Question 21

I inherited an old house with damaged cork tile with lots of cat urine (smelly). Some of the cork tiles are ruined, soaked with urine. To add to the problem, a lot of the cats are still here; most behave, but a few don't (they are indoor cats, I plan to rehome them soon). Enzymatic odor removers work well (should work...forever? - things like Angry Orange, Rocco & Roxie Professional Strength Stain & Odor Eliminator). Can I use the Enzymatic odor remover, then apply AFM SafeCoat Polyureseal BP or other AFM sealing product (please advise which) to seal the old cork tile, and then put your waterproof cork (floating) over it. I don't want to lay your waterproof cork flooring and then smell urine. Please advise? -Beverly View answer

Question 28

I have new solid oak floors that have been sealed with AFM naturals oil wax finish. They are beautiful when looking straight down at them; however when looking lengthwise they look dry and show sanding variations. (We took this flooring from tree to floor after years of drying time and we sanded them instead of having a professional). Would the bioshield help even out the look? Also we live in a very sandy area and have pets. There will be a lot of traffic on these floors. Would I need to strip the bioshield and start over periodically or can I just continue to apply and buff? View answer

I need to seal a new white cement counter top. It absorbs water readily so it's able to absorb liquids.

Is the coverage listed for 1 coat or both coats? I will be finishing 1100 sq ft of 2x6 t&g pine, both sides (total 2200 sq ft of surface) View answer

Asked 1 ´year ago

Question 50

Im considering applying this to 2x6 pine t&g flooring. It's for a new build. I'm hoping to coat all sides with 1 coat, install, and then protect with floor protection (cardboard builders board) to help mitigate any potential damage during the rest of the construction. After all construction is finished I would sand the floor and reapply oil/wax. Does this seem like an appropriate approach? If so, how long would you say I need to wait between applying the first coat prior to install and covering with builder board (to avoid any issues with curing under builder board). Thanks for your help! View answer
