Eco Friendly Paints and Stains

Using Eco friendly paints and stains is one of the ways to contribute to a cleaner planet beginning from your own shop or home project. Even though they might be on the more expensive side, they are often better quality, and, of course, safer to use. Rather than using the typical petroleum based stains, you can purchase soy, citrus oil, or castor oil based products instead. Products that have citrus or castor oils in them last longer than traditional stains, and have a harder surface finish so they can be used for both interior and exterior applications. You can also find sealers and adhesives that are eco friendly; all of which have low VOC’s and some are isocyanate free, a chemical that is toxic and may potentially cause asthma. By using these products for your project you are not only helping to stop the production of harmful materials, but also keeping your household, and the ones you love, safe.
