Questions & Answers

Is there a lustrous sheen to this?

No, it does not produce a lustrous finish. You can either paint over it or leave the wood alone because it dries clear. Mold and mildew will not be a problem in either case. It's a fantastic item.

Is it possible to make a garden out of cinder blocks?

I don't see why not; if it works on terra cotta pots, it should work on cinder block as well. Because cinder block is porous, it may require several coats.

I was considering using dark coffee to stain my wood and then sealing it. Should I seal the wood first, then stain it with coffee?

When the seal dries, it is transparent. The stain will not soak into the wood unless it is sealed first. I'd start by staining the wood and then seal it.

How long does it take for this product to dry and recoat?

The drying time is three days. 4 hours, with a 24-hour recoat if necessary.

VERY WELL DONE
5/5

This stuff has me blown away. I was on the lookout for something different. Some of the above-mentioned substances are toxic when sealed. I was looking for ground redwood planters, and this appeared to be the perfect product, and I was ***king right! I used Garden Seal to seal over 200 feet of freshly sanded redwood and was very pleased with the results. It was extremely simple to apply. It looks like milk, smells like Elmers glue, and behaves like it. The redwood color deepened slightly, bringing out even more of the blond/red hues for a very pleasing appearance. I liked the side instructions and warnings; whoever wrote them had a great sense of humour, which I thought was great and reflected the company's personality. It has a *SLIGHTLY* satin finish to it. It's not particularly noticeable and would go unnoticed if you weren't looking closely. I've rarely come across a product that has completely surpassed my expectations. You did an excellent job. I'm almost salivating at the prospect of slathering this stuff all over other things. Happy.

Made in the United States of America! SO FAR, IT'S BEEN AWESOME! This is the first time I've bought something like this
5/5

It arrived in perfect condition, much sooner than expected. I needed something non-toxic because I'm using it to seal raised beds for food. Garden Seal left a lasting impression on me. It can also be used for a variety of other things! Even small tree damage can be repaired. Made in the United States of America. It does darken the wood's color, but in a pleasant way. You can see the difference between the sealed and unsealed ones in my photo. It appeals to me. It's a little thin at first, but you'll get the hang of it quickly while coating. It has an Elmer's glue scent to it. It also appears to be the case. The weather will put them to the test, so stay tuned for an update when I order more for next year!.

It doesn't stink, it penetrates, and it dries quickly, so it's a good product
5/5

On the wood, make a thin film. For my raised beds, I used it. After two years, there are no chips.

Non-aggression and beauty toxic! Yay! This was purchased to complete a set of tall garden planter boxes in which I intend to grow vegetables
5/5

As a result, I desired something that was not only non-toxic but also non-toxic. toxic. Based on other reviews, I decided to give it a shot. I wanted my wood boxes to keep their lovely wood finish rather than go grey, so hopefully this will hold up over time. It did bring out a little more color in the wood, which is nice, and I hope it stays that way. br>It's incredibly simple to put together. I followed the instructions and kept stirring throughout the application, and I believe I got a nice, even finish. When you apply it, it has the appearance of foamy milk. It's been said that it smells like Elmer's Glue, but I didn't get that impression. It smelled like pine, but not in a strong or unpleasant way, and it was simple and easy to make. We've already had some rain, and it seemed to be doing a good job of draining the water. br>I am very pleased to have discovered this product, and it is well worth the money. br>It was delivered quickly after shipping. br>I'm crossing my fingers that they keep my lovely planters safe. br>I would purchase this item again.

It's simple to use, has a lot of coverage, and works well as a sealant
5/5

With a 2, it was a breeze to spray. With my Earlex 5500, I used a 0mm tip and turned the volume knob almost all the way down. It dries quickly and leaves a nice satin finish; I used it on new 4x4s in a raised garden bed, but I also sprayed it on three-year-old fence posts near me on a whim to see what it would do. The older fence posts were quite lovely!.

It's simple to use, and the coverage is excellent, even after years of use
5/5

This was used to protect a few wood posts that were deeply embedded in a raised bed. It was simple to use and has served me well so far. This is still working fine; br>br> The wood hasn't been harmed by the weather, and it's perfectly safe to use in my organic raised beds. br>br>April 2021 Update: It still looks fantastic; The raised beds were not harmed in any way.

It had previously been missing. A few days after applying this, mold forms on the wood surface. It had previously been missing.
Edit: It's preferable if you do it during the day.

For raised beds, this is the best option
5/5

I began by attempting to use tung oil as a nontoxic sealer for raised beds. It was extremely costly, applied unevenly, and was generally a shambles. I'm so happy I came across this. It's simple to use and inexpensive, and it even smells nice; it leaves a clear coating that only slightly darkens the color of the wood, according to other reviews. I only have about half a gallon left after sealing three raised beds, each measuring 6 feet by 2 feet by 15 inches high.
