I have an oak entertainment center that I am converting to a chicken coop where it will remain outdoors. Since pets will be in close proximity I'll need a non-toxic, no-VOC, weatherproof sealer to apply to the entertainment center. I think the unit is unfinished. It measures 28x65x53 and I'll need enough to cover the inside and out. There are a lot of options for sealers on your website. Could you help me narrow it down? How many coats are necessary?
