Question 7

Would this be safe to use to seal a cabinet that will hold dishes for food use (I want to seal the entire inside and outside of a cabinet that will hold plates and cups). Would it be safe to eat off of those dishes if they were kept in a cabinet sealed with this, or is there a more food-safe product we can use? Looking for a matte finish! Also, not sure if this cabinet has a small amount of a water- or oil-based varnish on it already. Which products that would be safe to put food dishes on top of should we order samples of? We'd like to encapsulate potential harmful chemicals on the furniture, while being able to safely store the dishes and wipe down the shelves with non-toxic cleaner, as able. Any recommendations? Thank you! :) View answer

Question 16

We have an oak cabinet (veneer shelves and sides, solid doors and trim) that was built about 30 years ago by a local carpenter. We love it but it has had a "doggie doo" smell inside ever since we got it when it was new. It still does! It looks totally normal, but when you open the doors, there it is. Humidity seems to make it worse. We do not know what kind of finish it has, but it is not bare wood. Do you have any suggestions on how we could mitigate this problem? It was less an issue when we lived in Arizona, but here in Indiana it has gotten worse. View answer

Question 33

I've been applying Acrylacq to the interior of some wood drawers. On my last few, I applied one coat and then ran out of the Acrylacq product. Can I simply resume applying once I order a new supply, or do I need to do anything to re-prep (e.g., sanding, etc) in order to get started again? The Acrylacq instructions say to apply new coats in 4-8 hours, so I'm wondering if waiting longer causes any issues? View answer
