Question 17

Has anyone put a coat of gloss over a coat of matte? I had someone do my floors with this and discovered after the final coat that I have enough extra gloss left over for a 4th coat and wonder what it might look like. I'd rather add a layer for durability than waste it, but not if it's going to look bad. I'm not real concerned if it comes out a little glossier, but don't want "milky," but it's over a very light natural maple so maybe it won't appear "milky?" View answer

Which is better to seal raw pine doors Polyureseal BP or AFM Acrylacq Wood Sealer? View answer

Asked 4 ´years ago

Question 29

I am looking for a matte finish. In two places for the AFM Safecoat, it notes that if you want a satin finish, you need to add one base coat of gloss first. But in a third place it notes the same applies for a matte finish. So, which is it? And furthermore, why is that? Seems like a lot of money to spend for a quart of Gloss that I'll barely need and will probably never come close to finishing. Thanks for your response. View answer

Question 37

Other websites say you "can" put water-based polyurethane over oil-based stain as long as the oil stain has had time to cure. Some recommend a shellac sealer first but others say to just wait for the oil finish to fully dry or cure. If this is the case, then why can I not use SafeCoat Polyureseal BP over my fully dry oil-stained furniture? View answer

Asked 4 ´years ago

Question 38

Hi. I see you do not recommend putting this product over an oil-based stain. However, I had tables made and the guy put a water-based polyurethane (Varathane brand) OVER his oil-based Varathane wood stain. The tables look awesome, no flaking or peeling. But they are off-gassing and the odor is bothersome. But I feel like it will be safe to put a coat of SafeCoat PolySeal BP on top since there is already a water-based finished that was put on last. Yes? View answer
