Question 6

I am installing T&G Douglas Fir flooring in a small (200 sq ft) hermitage. The cabin is located in an organic garden so I certainly want to use an environmentally friendly product. The cabin will not get a lot of foot traffic (200 sq ft doesn't allow for a lot of feet). I am trying to keep the cost down. Which of your products would you recommend? View answer

Question 7

I recently purchased SafeCoat wood stain and am very happy with it! However, when I went to apply the SafeCoat Polyureseal BP (satin finish) to the dining room table I have stained, on reading the directions it said that I HAD to use 1 or 2 coats of glossy finish Polyureseal first if I wanted to get a matte finish? Do I really need to order a glossy quart now, as well, in order to achieve a matte finish? What happens if I just use 2 to 3 coats of the satin finish? View answer

Question 8

According to your website, the SafeCoat Polyureseal BP cannot be applied over oil-based polyurethanes or oil-based products. Does this include oil-based stain, such as Minwax? Wood Finish? 250 VOC Compliant, a penetrating oil-based wood stain? If so, are there stains that you would recommend instead? View answer

Question 50

I'm building a log cabin and need help in selecting stains to test for the outside of the logs. The logs will be treated with borate, but need protection from the sun and rain. I'm extremely chemically sensitive, and any products containing natural rubber latex (AKA latex) would not be an option. Suggestions? Naturally I want a product that will hold up as long as possible, but it's most important that it is relatively inert and doesn't cause any reactions for me. I'll be testing before application for my tolerance, since even I don't know what I will react to half of the time, I understand that you have no control over what might or might not work and how my body might react. What offers the best performance for the chemically sensitive? View answer
