Question 50

I purchased new furniture about six weeks ago. My roommate is reacting to it and we think it may be the undersides of the tables and chairs which are painted but feel rough to the touch. The tops of the tables and chairs seem fine. Would it work to use the Safecoat Hard Seal on the undersides over a layer of paint, or would the whole table need to be treated? Is there another product that would be more appropriate for this application? View answer
