The directions say not to use on painted or sealed wood, but can I paint the wood after I apply the product and still retain the fire protection?

Actually the product is made to fireproof fabrics. Before I retired I managed a childcare center and I was required to spray all the window curtains and other fabrics to meet government standards.Once you paint over the spray it will no longer be effective.

I have no clue.... my use of the product was limited to fabrics. My suggestion would be to contact a Fire Marshall in your area, or to do a small test yourself. A company that produces stage settings for theatrical productions might also be able to answer this. Good luck!

I used this product on new wood with no sealant. I would contact the company direct to see if can be used on treated wood.

You'll still want to apply a standard finish. This just colors the wood, it doesn't protect it in any way

Yes. That type of application is exactly what this paint is intended to be used for.Remember that the most important ingredient for a good result is to do proper prep work. i.e. Make sure you remove all loose paint (just as Marcus BIggins said) and sand all contact surfaces to provide a slightly rough surface to insure a good bond. Also, it wouldn't hurt to go over the surface with a soft rag dampened with paint thinner in order to make sure any surface oil (from cooking) is removed. Afterwards take care to properly dispose of the paint thinner soaked rag(s) because rags that have had paint thinner (or any oil) on them can self combust and start a fire in your house. Yes.

I haven't but I think you could. I've used other watercolor to paint wooded crafts. You'll want to use less water and more paint and you'll need to seal it with something....I made homemade bees wax sealant because what I made was no doubt going to end up in my children's mouth as they played so I didn't want to use any chemicals.....you can google it for directions.

I spray it on but I do not see why it could not be brushed on and still get results. As long as the logs get saturated with the product it should work.Good luck.

Yes and No. When applying your very first coat to bare wood, apply only a thin layer, do not leave any excess sealer standing on the wood. The wood will absorb it and you'll be fine. Now if you apply thick layers or multiple layers then yes it will be sticky even days later (my experience).

The instructions say to coat all wood. We used mineral oil (which is safe for humans) to coat all the wood pieces. It seemed to work okay at the time.

Is it wood? Then yes you can use it. It works best on bare wood, if the wood is already painted or stained it will be less effective.

When applying to any wood surface it is suggested that the surface be primed or painted prior to the application. Only apply outdoors in warm temperatures. Do not apply to new treated wood.

No - the surfaces are oiled and probably the paint will not stick. The wood surfaces are beautiful - why would anyone paint it??

I didn't find that to be the case. It will, however, smoke when it gets hot for a few days after you apply it.

I would not use that around HIGH HEAT. There is a black spray paint called "High Heat" for BBQ grills.

You can spray it on wood but it won't stop wood from burning if it reaches its autoignition temperature of about 570 degrees F. It is designed to slow the speed it takes for materials to ignite from an open flame.

I had wrapped my expensive wooden furniture in blankets and then put wrap to secure it.I had wrapped my low end wood furniture directly and it worked out OK.I had wrapped this on a metal wall decorations. Some of the stretch wrap melted and got stuck on the metal in hot Texas heat. I was able to peel it off without any damage but not sure if it would work on wood. My suggestion is at minimum keep a layer of news papers between wood and stretch wrap. Hope this helps. All the best with move.

I don't think the product will penetrate through the painted surface. This product is designed to go over unpainted/unfinished wood. I would not try putting it on a painted surface - it probably wouldn't stick and may take up to 4 days to dry.

keep it away from any wood and think it should be just fine, we take camping better than a real wood fire , no cleaning up
