We have a table being built from red oak to be a base for our farmhouse sink. This will go into our laundry room and be consistently used. I need a stain and a top coat. This is a nice combination of both, also being user green friendly is a bonus. Would this work for this project?Taking into consideration this table will not be outside, but inside. It needs to be waterproof. View answer

If I just want to preserve the appearance of the exterior of my redwood garden boxes and not concern myself with preserving the interior, could I just use this product and not need to put the AFM Safecoat Dynoseal on the interior? Do I need to be concerned with this product leaching any chemicals into the soil without the interior coating? View answer

For the exterior cedar floor of a catio (enclosed outdoor space for my cats), would the waterproofing or penetrating stain be a better option? I am not sure how much the cats will claw at the floor or raised sitting shelves and want to have the safest space for them. I don't expect them to shred the wood but, they will no doubt wallow on it. View answer

I already used Vermont Natural Coatings PolyWhey, Exterior, Penetrating Stain for my son's sandbox but see Dynoseal is recommended for "raised garden beds" up to the soil line so now I want to use Dynoseal... Can I apply Dynoseal OVER the Vermont Natural Coatings PolyWhey, Exterior, Penetrating Stain that I've already applied? View answer

Wood walkway/path use? I'd like to cut 2 x 6 kiln dried pine into 3 foot lengths and lay a wood garden path in ground. I am planning to space out the pine and fill in with a gravel. Are these two products appropriate? AFM SafeCoat for the part of the plank that will be in ground and Vermont Natural Coatings PolyWhey for the exposed walking surface? View answer

I love this product. Have used in on my raised beds and they look great. I am now going to use it on my new deck. I was wondering if you have a recommendation for a sealant to apply on top for added water proofing? For example, can the Vermont Nat. Coatings Penetrating Water Proofer be applied on top of the PolyWhey stain? View answer

Concerned about how to figure out how much wood decking to work with at a time so I can get the second coat on before first coat is too dry? Put an oil based stain and sealer on weathered deck, wood sucked up 2 coats; can I get by with a light sanding before applying your poly whey product? View answer

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 applied this product about 1 1/2 to 2 years ago on some outdoor furniture. I am ready to re-apply. The instructions make it sound like you have to sand when you re-apply. But, it sounds like, from another answer, maybe not. Is using the Rubio cleaner sufficient? Or, how does know if you need to fully sand or not? It seems pretty vague and the product instructions only say to sand if previously coated. They do not give you ANY information on the maybe/maybe not part. View answer

I painted a gourd with dyes & then coated it with an acrylic clear coat. I didn't like what I painted afterwards & painted the poly whey coat on outside to make it shiny to see if that helped. No. Other than it did it's job of coating & shine. I'd love to be able to paint over it all & not waste the gourd. Can I paint with acrylic paint over the dried poly whey product? If so I plan to coat that after with the poly whey product. I like it very much! View answer

I have a home with cedar siding that's very weathered and has had Penofin applied to it a couple of times - at least 10 years ago. There are areas where it looks like varnish was applied when the house was originally built in the '50's which would have to be sanded. Everything is mildewed/darkened but overall a cleaning and a brightener would probably bring the wood back to its original color. I am looking for a product to apply that will protect the wood, resist mildew/mold growth, last for several years and be able to be reapplied without having to sand prior to reapplication. What do you recommend? View answer
