Question 16

Can the SafeCoat Polyureseal BP be applied over a water-based urethane modified alkyd paint with the look and feel of an alkyd/oil finish? This is a hybrid type paint trying to intermix the benefits of oil and water-based products. Specifically, I am using Sherwin Williams Emerald Urethane Trim Enamel paint on bedroom furniture. It is water-based, but they explained to me that it is water encapsulating an oil to allow for easier application and clean-up, but what remains is the oil. So I'm wondering if I can use the Polyureseal BP over it? Thanks. View answer

Question 17

I recently purchased SafeCoat wood stain and am very happy with it! However, when I went to apply the SafeCoat Polyureseal BP (satin finish) to the dining room table I have stained, on reading the directions it said that I HAD to use 1 or 2 coats of glossy finish Polyureseal first if I wanted to get a matte finish? Do I really need to order a glossy quart now, as well, in order to achieve a matte finish? What happens if I just use 2 to 3 coats of the satin finish? View answer
