Hi, I have a couple questions. One is this considered a resin at all? Two I have cabinets that someone paint over with no primer the paint looks good and I don't want to redo but if your nail hits it it's peels easy. Would one of the products works to seal it to prevent the paint from coming off? Thank you View answer

I have a small home office in my garage. The bottom 10 inches of two walls are concrete, which has been painted over in a high quality standard white paint. 3-4 months after construction and after many days of ventilation, the office still reeks of fumes when the door has been closed more than an hour. I have isolated the smell to the paint on the concrete. While it is very dry to touch, it has moisture coming through the porous concrete. I stumbled upon your product and want to try to seal the smell. What product is optimal for ending off-gassing in this case--over paint which is over concrete? View answer

I recently purchased a custom camper-van conversion. It has lots of wooden cabinets that were built with plywood and then finished with paint. There is also a wooden ceiling and wooden countertops that were stained. All the products used were water based but it has a strong toxic odor. Would this be the right product to use to abate the off gassing? View answer

Hi there, I am looking for a sealer to seal wooden dough bowls that will be made into candles. My questions are, does this product seal wood? If so, once I make the candle and burn it, would toxic or harmful odors be released into the air from the sealer? I need a sealer that seals wood, is non toxic once it gets heated and is fire safe.Thank you View answer

I have a room with asbestos tile. I would like to use it as a sewing and embroidery room. I would like to keep the tile safely. Could I use a sealant on the surface to make it safer? I don't want to disturb it, but am wondering if the vibration of the sewing machines would cause fibers to dislodge? View answer

I'm in the process of using lead encapsulation paint to cover my antique window frames, however the paint I need to use is very matte similar to primer, so I'm looking for something to put on top of this lead encapsulation paint that has a gloss. What products would work? Could I use just Ecos gloss paint or would a gloss top coat like the Safecoat hardseal be better? View answer

I recently purchased HardSeal, which I was told would absolutely stop cabinets and a countertop from off gassing. In reading the tiny information on the can I discovered it says do NOT use on chipboard or particle board, which is the very stuff cabinets and countertops are made of! What is the story here? Have I just wasted my money? View answer

I want to seal our fiberglass / acrylic bathtub that gets dirty very easily and is very hard to scrub clean. Not 100% sure of the material but it is a dull white that seems a bit porous, it's definitely not enamel over metal or porcelain. It seems like "plastic" which is why it gets so dirty. Will this sealer product do the job for me. Will this product stay in tact and be a durable surface that will be easier to keep clean?? it's a solid excellent tub otherwise. View answer

I own Colorado's first certified Built Green home, so you can imagine how hard I tried to get the painters I hired to use zero VOC paint. Despite my best efforts, a new employee of the company inexplicably used EXTERIOR paint on the INTERIOR of my home. !!!!! I am VERY concerned and distressed. 1) Will 2 coats of SafeSeal over the Sherwin (exterior) Superpaint help stop the off gassing of dangerous chemicals/VOCs? 2) Can I use zero VOC Sherwin Williams Promar 200 over the SafeSeal and exterior paint? I need to use that because it matches the rest of my home. View answer

I'm in the process of putting down Varathane Floor Finish (oil-based polyurethane). I have two coats on OSB (I'm using DriCore as basement flooring). Unfortunately, I was unaware of just how toxic polyurethane is and am concerned about the potential long duration of off-gassing. I'm looking for an encapsulating sealer to contain the VOCs and the off-gassing. Will the SafeCoat Soft or Hard Sealer work for this? View answer

I recall that you said there's no difference between Safe Seal and Hard Seal when it comes to reducing off gassing... that the only difference is the finish... did I understand that correctly? Could either be used to seal the exposed under- and back-sides of an old laminate kitchen countertop? I'm guessing the exposed parts are compressed particle board. View answer

This is what it states in regards to using Hard Seal on a furniture piece that is solid wood and particle board. Looks like someone removed from the description the 2nd NOTE which stated the product could not be used on Particle Board. Please support?Hard Seal can also be used on painted or stained woodwork or on unfinished wood products. Not for use on particle board or chipboard. View answer
