Question 14

I would like to order a shoe rack that is described as "Iron frame with satin pewter". This seems vague and it is from china. To be on the safe side, I would like to paint it with something to seal in any off gassing that may occur. Would this product be appropriate for that? I have always thought all these wire storage racks that you get from places like Home Depot are not likely to be toxic and I have many of those, not sure how true that is, but this shoe rack looks to be more of painted finish than the typical wire racks and has 'metal mesh' for shelves.
