AFM Safecoat Safe Seal Gallon

We raised the floor on a sunken room and the top boards are OSB plywood. We found out afterwards that these boards release a lot of VOCs and the smell was overwhelming and nauseating to me. We discovered this product and got it from Amazon right away.After one coat the smell was gone. Note that the product has its own smell, which is gone the next day. We had ordered enough for two coats so we just went ahead and put the other coat on, but I think one would have been enough.A one gallon jug of the stuff covered about 300 square feet of our boards. We used a window squeegee to spread on the first coat after pouring small amounts in puddles around the boards. But the second coat we used a garden pump-type sprayer to put the stuff on and used the squeegee to spread it an that worked better.

Bought this to stop faameldihide smell in our camper. Didn't work. I'm writing a review 4 years later because we finally found something that cuts the smell. Rug Doctor carpet cleaner. We have tried many things and We accidentally ran into this. It's the first thing that has ever cut the smell of that faameldihide.

No smell really, if anything like a subtle watered down latex paint. Some people have complained about the smell but I don’t have any issues with it. We used it to seal some furniture that my husband was having a terrible respiratory reaction to because of all the off gassing and this stuff really worked. It dries down pretty fast and I was worried it would be tacky because directions say you should use a finishing coat of something because it would be tacky but because it was raw mdf we were treating it soaked it right up and didn’t leave it sticky at all. Would highly recommend if you have sensitivity to chemicals in manufactured wood products.

We used this product to eliminate/reduce the offgas from kitchen cabinets in the new house we bought. We applied this product on all reachable plywood and other composite, untreated surfaces. We applied Acri-laq from the same manufacturer on some of the treated/lacquered surfaces. We also did 'bakeouts' by raising the HVAC temperature to 85+ degrees for eight hours or longer several nights, followed by early morning ventilation. These measures effectively eliminated nearly all of the new-house smell and make it habitable to us who are very sensitive to odors and offgas of all kinds.

Used this sealer to seal in formaldehyde fumes from plywood. Did a great job, we have chemical sensitivity.

We used this on a barn door in our living room. The door had been stained and was smelling horrible. We took the door off and covered it with the Safe Seal out in the garage; we left it out to air for about a week. My wife has had no problem with the smell of the Safe Seal, and it did a great job covering the smell of the stain.

This stuff is hard to work with, very thin, and the areas we used it on, now smell like it instead of the MDF-formaldehyde we were trying to cover.

After much research I came across this product. I am extremely sensitive to the off-gassing used in building material today. I try to live in a home that is older due to the off-gassing of newer material. I usually have low-grade head aches and scratchy throat. I am trying AFM Safecoat Safe Seal on MDF shelving that is in my living space. The product was easy to apply. I applied three coats on the shelves as the MDF is very porous and I want to make sure it is sealed. I used about a three quarters of a gallon for approximately 90 sf of shelving.
