Question 14

I have an oak entertainment center that I am converting to a chicken coop where it will remain outdoors. Since pets will be in close proximity I'll need a non-toxic, no-VOC, weatherproof sealer to apply to the entertainment center. I think the unit is unfinished. It measures 28x65x53 and I'll need enough to cover the inside and out. There are a lot of options for sealers on your website. Could you help me narrow it down? How many coats are necessary?

For the exterior cedar floor of a catio (enclosed outdoor space for my cats), would the waterproofing or penetrating stain be a better option?

Q1: We want to use the VNC Penetrating stain for our fence. We have way too much fence to try and sand. Is pressure washing with a 3400 psi washer and the 30 degree tip as effective as sanding to clean the wood and open it up to receive the penetrating stain?Q2: Based on what I have seen on our deck which was previously improperly stained. It looks like the pressure washer would be as effective if not more effective than sanding to remove the old stain, Would you agree? View answer
