Question 4

I am potentially interested in purchasing a sealer (AFM SafeCoat) for some grass cloth wallpaper in my baby's nursery. After reviewing the products available, I can't decide if AFM Safecoat Hard Seal or Acrylacq would be better (or something else I've missed). The wallpaper will be hung with a low-VOC adhesive and hopefully completely installed by the middle of June. My baby is due in the middle of September and I thought I'd give the wallpaper a couple months to cure, then apply the sealer to be safe. I would like to paint the sealer on myself, but I read that there is a bit of a smell. What causes this smell, anything dangerous to the baby? View answer

Question 6

I'm looking for a water based polyacrylic to cover a wood measuring stick I created for my daughter. I have acrylic paint pens for marking her age, so polyacrylic would be perfect for protecting it but also being able to paint over in the future. However, I'm having a hard time finding a VOC-free version. Do you have a product that will match this need? View answer

Question 8

I have an old wood dresser and live in San Francisco. The humidity is usually around 50% and our dresser and clothes in it have started to smell a bit funky. I tried cleaning it with vinegar and leaving it outside but the smell is still there. Do you think one of your products will seal in the smell and probably mold spores in the dresser? View answer

I noticed one of the other odor sealers on your site said not to use it over oil-based polyurethane, but the Acrylacq description didn't say that specifically.
