Question 1

What doctors recommend this, why, and what for?

Accepted Answer

I have no clue what doctors but it's low VOC which means less toxic chemicals, smells less and cures quickly, unlike standard sealers. It's a sealer to seal odors out. It can be put over paint or painted over, without losing it's sealing capabilities. Great for baby rooms or those who can't tolerate strong odors. Hope that helps.

Question 2

Does this work on walls to seal high voc paint from gassing?

Accepted Answer

It doesn't.  I bought it to seal off voc paint in my bedroom but it made it worst. Emitted a strong ammonia odor that lingered for a week - with fans going 24/7.  Then the odor turned into a strong chemical smell.

Question 3

Would this be durable enough for painted kitchen chairs?

Accepted Answer

This is durable but I would suggest Acrilaq for wood, especially chairs. If the hard seal gets wet for any length of time it starts to turn white. It can be cleaned up with some effort but Acrilaq (Hope I spelled that right) is amazing for wood. I am assuming the chairs are wooden.....it's what I used on my hardwood floors. It is quite durable but for floors it needs to be re-done every several of years, putting 3 or 4 coats will lengthen the time. For chairs it should last much longer. It's a little more expensive but very much worth the price...I do not work for them, I just love their products and have used them for about 20 years.

Question 4

I have self adhesive vinyl tiles in my bathroom and want a sealant to keep the dirt and water from getting into the cracks. Would this product work?

Accepted Answer

If you are using this sealant because you do not want the toxic fumes from the conventional sealants, this product won't work.  The fume from this sealant is pretty strong.  I purchased it to seal off the off-gassing from my old voc paint and it made it worse.
