Good Afternoon, Mr. Goj, I want to paint the interior of a terracotta pot to seal it with the AFM Safecoat DynoSeal (dark color). After decoupaging the exterior of the pot, I want to seal it with the AFM Polyureseal EXT Satin (clear color). Is there a certain temperature range, they should be applied? And a level of humidity? I was going to apply indoors, if it was safe. it's been raining and a little cooler, outdoors. I purchased the samples, and will probably be buying the regular size at some point. I thank you so much for your time. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy and Blessed New Year. View answer

I have a teak outdoor couch from CB2 (search Naya Sectional online) that has started to turn grey. I am looking for alternatives to "teak oil" which apparently doesn't work that well.

I will soon be building a small barn that will house 8 chickens and 3 Nigerian Dwarf goats. We will put in a plywood floor (with some insulation beneath). On top of the plywood, I'll lay down horse mats and then the hay. My contractor has asked me to find a product to safely (for the animals) seal the plywood. Would one or your products work?

We recently had a live edge walnut table made for us and the builder finished it with Watco Danish Oil. We have three small children and don't feel the finish is hardy enough for us and we want something that is safe for our kids to eat off of and will be water repellant. There are a couple knots in the wood and small gaps in the board seams that need to be filled as well to prevent crumbs and liquid from entering - will I be able to use this product for this purpose as well or do you have another one you might recommend?
