Q:If I plan on staining my butcher block outside, 60"x30" and applying a couple of coats for my standing desk. Should I not let this dry outside? or if I dry it inside will it smell like paint? Also should I stain before putting the desk legs on?

A:  Mike, Its ideal for the wood and the product itself to be kept in a controlled environment. I, of course, can't say what your weather is like, but that can affect how the finish/sealent bonds with the natural product, your butcher block. A garage might be an okay solution if you are worried about the smell of paint. Thank you! Have a great weekend.

    A:  I would advise letting dry indoors so as to not get dust, debris, or other matter on the top coat as it dries. Just make sure it's in a room with an open window and/or some kind of ventilation. The smell is not as offensive as paint though. I'd say this smells a little less stinky than a permanent marker. It's very mild.

                  Q:What is the best method for removing this product? I applied 1 coat to the Hardwood Reflections Hevea with Chevron Butcher Block Countertop hoping for a clear satin finish. I did not do enough research and now I have a yellow, closer to semi-gloss finish. I am planning to replace this with a water-based topcoat for the desired finish. I have seen other people who had much better results with water-based when specifically trying to get a natural finish. Will sanding be enough?

                    Q:Do you need to clean off the factory mineral oil finish on your block counters before using this? Or can it be used right on top as shipped? What about your top coat product?

                      A:  Jeff-sand down the mineral oil and then apply. Use as many coats as you need and then wait about 4-weeks to apply the top coat. It needs to be super dry before adding the top coat.
