Q: How do you refinish a table top without stripping it?

• <div><p>It is possible to refinish a table without stripping and sanding it by repairing small dents. You&rsquo;ll use a gel stain, and then put on a wipe-on finish. The downside is this won't result in as smooth and as deep of a finish as if you had stripped the table. Also, any blemishes on your table will remain. </p></div>

Q: Can you permanently seal butcher block countertops?

• <div><p>You can certainly seal butcher block countertops, but not permanently. Due to the nature of the materials, it will require resurfacing down the line. This is true no matter what you use to seal the countertop, including polyurethane and mineral oil. Polyurethane will last until the countertop is damaged in some way, and mineral oil should be reapplied every two to three months. To maximize the longevity of the polyurethane sealer, apply two coats. </p></div>

Q: Does wood stain go bad?

• <div><p>Wood stain does go bad, but it will last in the can for between three and six years, provided you use proper storage techniques. Storing wood stain in open containers or in extremely low or high temperatures will cause your wood stain to become unusable much more quickly. Water- and latex-based wood stains typically last for just two to four years, while oil-based wood stains can last for three to six years. </p></div>

They did a great job. The air quality in the house improved immediately as demonstrated by fewer asthmatic symptoms. I wish I had followed them around and covered furniture (beds especially) to protect them from getting dirty as junk came out of the ducts.
