Question from Julia
I am thinking of moving into an apartment that used Howard Restor-A-Finish on the wooden kitchen cabinets. Do you think this product is as bad as polyurathane, which is my worst trigger? Do you think it would be safe to live there 2-3 weeks after they applied Restor-A-Finish? http://www.howardproducts.com/prod-restor-a-finish.php Thank you for any advice you may have.
Debra’s Answer
According to the Restor-A-Finish MSDS the product contains a number of hazardous ingredients, however they are all very volatile and would evaporate over time.
Heat will speed the process.
If polyurethane is your worse trigger, I would look for an apartment that has cabinets that were not recently refinished.
