Question 13

Hello, we are making a bed for my toddler and I stained the wood with an oil-based stain. I am not worried about chemicals, etc. I plan to let the wood cure/dry and off gas in the garage and outside for 48-72 hours before putting a finish or seal on it. I have been looking for the safest seal to put on this so that I feel comfortable having this wood as my toddlers bed. Would this seal work over oil-based stain that has been well cured? Would it completely seal/protect the wood/stain? Thanks! View answer
