Question 9

Can I seal unpainted wood toys with either the Polyureseal BP or Hardseal? I know it says non-toxic but I'm not sure if this applies to the liquid or cured state of the finish. Toddlers like to put stuff in their mouth and I need to be sure this is non-toxic when that happens. View answer

Question 12

I love the product. But I made a mistake applying it in 2 bedrooms. I left the second coat to dry overnight and it didn't penetrate so now the floors are blistered and bubbled where it pooled and dried. To correct this should I re sand and start over or use mineral spirits to dissolve? Or something else? So bummed that I didn't do my due diligence. But what now? Thank you. View answer

Question 21

I have brand new oak butcher block style countertops from IKEA. We wanted to keep them as natural as possible and so we put 3 layers of mineral oil, and a 2 layers of a mineral oil/beeswax finish. As soon as a moist dishtowel rested on the countertop, the grain swelled up and was rough. We need to put something else on that's more durable after all. Will this Naturals Oil Wax Finish be ok to apply on top of these other natural oils/wax? Sure seems like there's plenty more penetration capacity based on how NON-water resistant the counters seem to be still. Oh and our sink is set into the countertop (lots of potential water exposure) and cooking will take place on them, but no chopping directly on them. View answer

Question 31

What is the difference between Polyureseal BP and Acrylacq? Are there any uses for one that the other cannot handle? How do you decide between the two? View answer

Asked 4 ´years ago

Question 32

I've been applying Acrylacq to the interior of some wood drawers. On my last few, I applied one coat and then ran out of the Acrylacq product. Can I simply resume applying once I order a new supply, or do I need to do anything to re-prep (e.g., sanding, etc) in order to get started again? The Acrylacq instructions say to apply new coats in 4-8 hours, so I'm wondering if waiting longer causes any issues? View answer
