Question 7

Can I use Vermont Ext Penetrating or AFM Polyureseal Ext (or a different product) to seal and protect birch wood veneer tables with an existing acrylic lacquer finish? If so, will it take after a light sanding or does the existing acrylic lacquer need to be fully sanded off (or stripped?). These are indoor tables I want to make into outdoor tables with weather resistance. Thanks! View answer

Question 9

Would this work well to protect a child's spruce sandbox inside and out from UV and water damage? The sand will occasionally be wet, but the sandbox only has four sides, not a bottom, so it wouldn't really be submerged. It needs to be non-toxic. View answer

Question 23

I have been searching everywhere and I cannot find a solution to how to remove polywhey. I understand that it is a good product but I do not like the look of it on my indoor trim at all. I cannot find product lists, and when I called the company all they would tell me is that it contains whey and that I should sand it off. Given that this is an indoor application, that just isn't feasible. Everything has a solvent but I just can't figure out (short of using a horrible paint stripper) how to remove it without sanding?

I'm wondering how "semi-transparent" this product is...
