SAMPLE - AFM SafeCoat, Polyureseal BP, Matte Q&A

Question 1

Hello, I have 1 gallon of the SafeCoat Polyureseal in matte and 1 gallon in satin. I will likely need to use 2 gallons for my project, 1 initial coat and then a second on top. Is it possible to mix the two gallons together and then proceed with my project, or should I use the matte first and then follow it up with the satin? View answer

Question 2

I installed some wood flooring about 1.5 years ago in a rental. Used low-grade plywood that I cut into planks and installed for a rustic look. The tenants have been complaining about urethane smell - and I started looking for a solution and found you guys. However, after more thinking/research I don't think it's the oil-based urethane that's the problem but possible off gassing of formaldehyde. I already have oil-based polyurethane on the floors - so I'm not sure which product you think might work best to seal over what's there and help protect against more off gassing. View answer

Question 10

My carpenters applied an oil based stain to my oak stair treads. Big mistake. It smells horrible. I did not apply oil based polyurethane yet because I realize that will smell even more! And water based polyurethanes don't work over oil based stains! Is there any healthier product I can cover my oil stained stair treads with? So far every product I see says do not apply over oil based stains. Is there any "low odor" oil based polyurethane product I can use? Or do I need to sand off the old oil stain and start again??

Question 11

Hi, I'm wondering if this product could be used to protect from off-gassing from a linoleum floor? The finish has worn off due to faulty cleaning, and is now off-gassing. we'd prefer to not change the floor entirely. Would this or another product help seal the off-gassing, and could it be used on organic materials such as linoleum? (don't want to risk microbial growth). Thanks a lot! View answer

Question 19

I need to seal in the off gassing from an IKEA particle board kitchen cabinet that's got melamine foil on the outside and plastic edging. Would this product be the best or would another product work better? It also needs to be durable and provide a waterproof barrier against atmospheric moisture (it's in an RV) and water spills from the sink that's above it. Mold and mildew protection in addition would be ideal. Thank you. View answer

Question 22

Can the SafeCoat Polyureseal BP be applied over a water-based urethane modified alkyd paint with the look and feel of an alkyd/oil finish? This is a hybrid type paint trying to intermix the benefits of oil and water-based products. Specifically, I am using Sherwin Williams Emerald Urethane Trim Enamel paint on bedroom furniture. It is water-based, but they explained to me that it is water encapsulating an oil to allow for easier application and clean-up, but what remains is the oil. So I'm wondering if I can use the Polyureseal BP over it? Thanks. View answer

Question 29

I have particle board kitchen cabinets in a place built over 30 years ago. Only surfaces visible when the cabinets are closed have a laminate veneer. The insides and presumably the bottoms and and backs are uncoated particle board. I want to seal the surfaces I can reach - the insides. I have a full leftover container of AFM Hard Seal from another project. I noticed Polyureseal BP did best at blocking formaldehyde in the tests on your website. Would you recommend Hard Seal, Acrylacq, or Polyureseal BP? View answer
