[GSBN] Clay paints/sealers for Multiple Chemical Sensitivy

[Chris Magwood]

Hi Tony,

If she is chemically sensitive, I wouldn't recommend using fiberglass.

AFM Safecoat makes a sealant for holding back VOCs from materials like 
plywood: 
http://www.afmsafecoat.com/products/stains-sealers/safecoat-safe-seal. 
We've used it for chemically sensitive clients where we can't get rid of 
the material and it seems to work well.

I haven't put clay paint directly over the AFM sealant before, but the 
companies we use for clay or lime paints (Kreidezeit and Auro) make 
primers that are full disclosure ingredients and would allow their 
paints to be used.
