Question 5

Is this safe to use on a indoor/outdoor play gym made from birch plywood. This is the sealer they recommended but I don't see anything about this being safe for kids to be playing around on or whether it can be used on something that will be inside the house half the year (winter months) and outside half the year (summer months). Also how long would it be usable after opening. As in if I plan or reapplying every so often can I buy in bulk and save leftovers for a prolonged period? View answer

Hello, we are making a bed for my toddler and I stained the wood with an oil-based stain. I am not worried about chemicals, etc. I plan to let the wood cure/dry and off gas in the garage and outside for 48-72 hours before putting a finish or seal on it. I have been looking for the safest seal to put on this so that I feel comfortable having this wood as my toddlers bed. Would this seal work over oil-based stain that has been well cured? Would it completely seal/protect the wood/stain? Thanks! View answer
