SAMPLE - AFM SafeCoat, Safe Seal Q&A

Question 1

Can I use any of the Safe Seal products to coat the inside of an RV before refinishing it? We would want to coat almost everything--floor, walls, and cupboards. Will it adhere to the finish on cupboards, and is it then paintable? Which product should we use? I think we would want it to be matte. Thanks! View answer

Question 7

Should I use this if I can't seal in all sides of the pressboard? I have a couch, and some of the surfaces are covered by fabric or are so internal that I can't get to them. Will it help if I only can partially seal the surfaces, or will that just prolong off gassing by not allowing the pressboard to offgas in all directions? View answer

Question 11

I'm thinking of getting an Ikea wardrobe cabinet (Pax), but the sides of the shelves are exposed particle board. The inside of the sidewalls have peg holes for the adjustable shelves. These holes (approx. 1/4" round and deep) are also exposed particle board. Which AFM product would be best to use to seal these? In addition, if I decide to seal the whole cabinet (the Ikea description says it is made of fibreboard and paper foil) which AFM product would I use? Are AFM sealer products completely inert when dry? (i.e. absolutely no smell) View answer

I will soon be building a small barn that will house 8 chickens and 3 Nigerian Dwarf goats. We will put in a plywood floor (with some insulation beneath). On top of the plywood, I'll lay down horse mats and then the hay. My contractor has asked me to find a product to safely (for the animals) seal the plywood. Would one or your products work? We might also paint the plywood, although since it will be covered up, that doesn't make sense. View answer

Question 44

What is the material used for the bottom of IKEA dresser drawers? It is almost paperlike with a very spongy porous bottom. Will this work for that? They lined the top with white liner. I put safeseal on the bottom sides and it absorbed it right up. Now it's a darker color. The dresser itself is pure pine so I didn't' think there would be smell. But there is a very sawdusty smell with the dresser in the room and it increases when opening the drawers so I suspect it is from the drawer bottoms. There is still smell. Will additional coats help? Or will it just ruin the papery material? View answer
