I have an old wood dresser and live in San Francisco. The humidity is usually around 50% and our dresser and clothes in it have started to smell a bit funky.

Question 17

I'm looking for a water based polyacrylic to cover a wood measuring stick I created for my daughter. I have acrylic paint pens for marking her age, so polyacrylic would be perfect for protecting it but also being able to paint over in the future. However, I'm having a hard time finding a VOC-free version. Do you have a product that will match this need? View answer

Question 19

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

What is a "fine haired rectangular poly pad"? I am having a lot of trouble with brushing on the Acrylacq, even when I pre-moisten the surface with a damp rag. I get a lot of air bubbles.

Question 28

I see that for a matte finish, the first coats should be gloss Acrylacq, followed by matte Acrylacq. Would it be okay to use gloss Acrylacq as the first coats, followed by a matte water based top coat of a different brand (General Finishes)? View answer
