Hello. Would this product work on an earthen ( aka adobe) floor? The floor consists of 3 parts sand, 1 part native soil containing clay and finely chopped straw fragments which was then sealed with 5 coats of boiled linseed oil. We're looking to further protect the floor. Thanks View answer

I recently installed untreated pine on the ceiling in my bathroom. I am looking for a nontoxic seal that will protect the wood from water damage/molding etc. I don't intend to stain the wood. I only need to seal it. Is this an appropriate product for that? Thanks in advance. View answer

Hi, I am seeking a plant based/environmental friendly sealer for my wood paintings. I use mineral and earth pigment paints, basically crushed pigment powder mixed with water. Would this be the recommended product to try on my pieces? I've used Acri-Soy in the past and it can smear the paints sometimes due to its consistency. My art is made with 100% plants so everything is an experiment, but I thought I would ask in case there may be a better suggestion. Thank you. View answer

I'm wondering how "semi-transparent" this product is... I need to restain/seal my backyard fence that is older and has different colors to it based on where previous shrubs blocked water from hitting the fence. I am not sure how a clear would look in this situation, but I also don't want my fence to look like I painted it brown; I like seeing the natural grain of the wood. I'm debating between the Caspian Clear and the Acorn Brown. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you! View answer

My husband and I are planning a kitchen remodel and are considering putting in butcher block or wood countertops. We've never had wood countertops before and in doing some research found out that there can be a lot of upkeep with oiling monthly. We are also concerned about water damage to the wood around the sink area, or from someone leave a glass of water on the counter that may have some water on the bottom of the glass. Do you have a food-safe product that is also powerful enough for kitchen countertops to handle water and liquids? We may be good at trying to quickly wipe up water from the counter, but kids are another story! Also, how often would it need to be reapplied in the future after the initial application? View answer

I am trying to prevent off gassing in a box truck with a wooden floor. The truck was used as an automotive service vehicle, so oil spillage and potentially other automotive chemicals spilled on the wooden floor of the box. Will this product be sufficient to protect me if I treat the floors with it? I would be inside for hours at a time (I'm a technician and this truck would be my mobile workshop). View answer

Should I use this if I can't seal in all sides of the pressboard? I have a couch, and some of the surfaces are covered by fabric or are so internal that I can't get to them. Will it help if I only can partially seal the surfaces, or will that just prolong off gassing by not allowing the pressboard to offgas in all directions? View answer

1) I am wondering if this can be used over a bookshelf finished in a shiny "grey painted lacquer". (I am not sure if it is made out of oil-based polyurethane or an oil-based product and can't seem to figure it out.) I am chemically sensitive and am almost about to throw the shelf out, but it was expensive so I'm trying to give this a shot first. (For the record, this horrible shelf hasn't stopped off-gassing for over a year. I've had to keep it in our storage room because I can't stand the smell.) Do you think this product would work? 2) If this would work, and I also wanted to paint the shelf white, would I paint it before I put this on or after? I was planning on using milk paint. Thank you in advance. View answer
