I agree you need to be careful what to use. There have been varying views about using Cuprinol garden shades as well - and it is acrylic - have used it on our fence - it has a kind of plasticky feel afterwards. It's probably ok as long as it isn't chewed - but that's what we don't know - unless it's something that can't easily be chewed like a flat base.
When I first joined here, people used to use the spray on plastikote for larger items (needs to be done outdoors though or you'll end up with it on everything). That then needs time for the smell to wear off.
The small pots of plastikote do work out expensive if you need to cover a large area but one pot does go quite a long way. Four pots would only be about £16 and should give two coats on a vary large area.
What is it you're painting? |
I am using it for my hamster enclosure. It should be arriving Friday. I have ordered the sealant I linked above.
