Question 2

Currently painting our interior hardwoods floors with porch and patio paint. The color is a cream/light grey color. We applied one coat of satin, water based polyurethane sealant and the floors turned yellow. Applied with roller as it is too large of an area to apply with brush. Tried to not apply too thick. Will your sealant NOT turn the floors yellow?? And can it be applied with a roller?? View answer

Question 3

I see that to get the best natural wood look, I should use gloss for first coat and then the satin. I have your Safecoat Hardseal product in gloss. Would this be ok to use with the acrylaq? Do I even need the acrylaq or should I order the Safecoat Hardseal in satin? It's for a kitchen table. View answer

Question 5

I bought a piece of wood furniture, used, that has a perfume smell (most likely from being polished with a scented wood polish and probably petroleum distillates in it). I can smell the perfume scent when I am near the furniture. I cannot just wash it off/out as it has penetrated the wood. What is the best product to use to coat the entire piece, inside and out (it's a hutch/cabinet piece) so that the perfume odor is blocked/encapsulated and no longer releasing into my home's air? Thank you! View answer

Question 21

Which glossy varnish can I use on a painted table? I used a previous eco varnish on it about 20 years ago on this table that had a been painted with artists oil paints and it has a thick rich golden gloss that I love but due to "dining room abuse" it has a few dings. I thought it was made with walnuts and it didn't smell or off gas. I wish I still had the can because I don't remember it's name but I did get it at a green building supplier View answer

Question 36

I am potentially interested in purchasing a sealer (AFM SafeCoat) for some grass cloth wallpaper in my baby's nursery. After reviewing the products available, I can't decide if AFM Safecoat Hard Seal or Acrylacq would be better (or something else I've missed). The wallpaper will be hung with a low-VOC adhesive and hopefully completely installed by the middle of June. My baby is due in the middle of September and I thought I'd give the wallpaper a couple months to cure, then apply the sealer to be safe. I would like to paint the sealer on myself, but I read that there is a bit of a smell. What causes this smell, anything dangerous to the baby? View answer
