Question 3

I saw a video regarding the difference in color between the AFM SafeCoat Polyureseal BP sheens (gloss is milky white, clear, and the satin and (I assume) matte are colored. The video states that they both dry clear, but the satin and matte may "build up" a color on the surface if more than one coat is used. Here is my question: will the Acrylacq in matte also do this? Is it clear or "muddy" like the satin/matte Polyureseal BP? I have white kitchen cabinets that I want to keep a matte sheen, but not change the color with several coats of sealer. View answer

Question 41

I bought a piece of wood furniture, used, that has a perfume smell (most likely from being polished with a scented wood polish and probably petroleum distillates in it). I can smell the perfume scent when I am near the furniture. I cannot just wash it off/out as it has penetrated the wood. What is the best product to use to coat the entire piece, inside and out (it's a hutch/cabinet piece) so that the perfume odor is blocked/encapsulated and no longer releasing into my home's air?
