Hi,

We have a parquet floor in my condo. We are moving and I want to spruce it up to sell. We used NanoTech 6 years ago. We didn't sand the floor. It went right over top of the existing oil based finish. It has worked great. Can we recoat again? Can we use the leftover NanoTech?

Thanks,

Hello - I am pregnant and planning to purchase your Baby Safe Crib Finish for an unfinished birch crib and a second product, likely the Special Linseed Oil to finish newly installed interior stain grade doors (pine i think). I have a few questions:

3/21/2018

...How does the Bio Poly Natural product differ from the Linseed Oil - would you recommend one or the other for the door project?

Is second finishing product needed after the linseed oil or bio poly application?

Is 2 pints enough for the door project - two 15 light french doors? Last question, are these products safe to use in a well ventilated area while pregnant? Thank you!

Best Primer for Plaster Walls? How do I strip the Wallpaper and glue? I don't want to use Kilz.

2/8/2018

Hi, I am trying to see if you have a good primer to put over plaster walls, after the wallpaper is removed. It appears that the standard idea is to put on a primer, to cover any remaining adhesive, but I like to avoid the chemicals in products like Kilz, etc. Please advise!

Hi,

I built my own baby crib out of pine. I want to stain it and of course i want to to be baby safe. My wife wants it to have color as well. I was looking at the bio poly with color. My questions are is the bio poly with color safe for a baby crib and does something else need to be applied before the bio poly of after the bio poly?

Thanks!

Walnut Plank Countertops, I want to illuminate the wood grain and protect from steam? Also... to finish Ash but keep the light wood color, not turn yellow.

12/15/2017

Hello,

I am doing 2 kitchen projects.

1. Walnut plank countertops--I would like a food safe , easily repairable finish for these plank tops. I don't really want a finish like a lacquer. More of a natural rub on finish that I could then easily sand down a scraped up section of wood and rub some new finish on.

2. I am making a range hood cover and the "skin" will be with reclaimed white oak planks. For this I just want a clear finish but I need something that can handle the steam and heat from the stove and can be wiped down clean.

What do you recommend for these two applications?

Thank you,

What's the best mold killing paint for our bathroom?

12/12/2017

Hello,

I have a standard sized (5'x7') bathroom in my home that is difficult to keep the mold at bay in, on the ceiling and walls. I'd like to finish it with something that would paint over this mold and provide an inhospitable environment for future growth.

The existing wall surface is textured (I could smooth out to a degree) and painted with a latex paint.

I estimate the surface area to be less than 200 square feet (~170).

Which products would you recommend and the quantity? What would the price be, including shipping to Idaho, zip code 83301?

Thanks much for your time!

What is the safest hardwood floor finish? Our daughter has chemical sensitivities.

11/30/2017

We would like to have hardwood flooring installed (about 550 Sq. Ft.) but our daughter is unable to clear toxins from her body. We also need it to be waterproof as we have older dogs who sometimes have accidents so we would need to wet mop. We spoke to a hardwood dealer who said there is no way to use hardwood under our circumstances. Would your product truly work for our situation and how would we find a contractor who would be able to apply it?

What is the best high gloss finish to replace toxic lacquers in a UV Finishing Line Machine? We need to fill in deep wood grain of Wenage.

11/17/2017

Hi
Can your product be used in the UV line?

Can I use your products as a Sealer. Then normal UV treatment Sealer. Primer filler. Topcoat . 90 gloss coat.

We use wood with name Wenage , that has very wide grain and give us trouble with finishing top coat 90 Gloss surface.
The lacquer will sink in to material and the surface will be like ripples .

Will your product penetrate in to the fibres more efficient./

Tell me the lacquer of your products I need to seal the fibres.
