furniture shield
A crystal-clear, non-toxic protective sealer that locks in your finish and defends against water rings, scratches, and daily wear.

Seal a dresser before lunch is over.
Prep your surface
The surface underneath must be fully cured — wait at least 72 hours after Evolve Soy Stains or 24 hours after Satin Dreams paint. Surface must be clean, dry, and dust-free.
2 minApply a thin, even coat
Use a synthetic brush, foam roller, or lint-free cloth. Work with the grain. Apply thin — thick coats cloud and take longer to cure. Stir gently before use; never shake.
5 to 15 minRecoat and cure
Apply a second coat after 2 to 4 hours. Two coats minimum for full protection. High-traffic surfaces benefit from a third coat. Full cure in 7 days — avoid heavy use until then.

COMMON QUESTIONS
FAQ
Everything you need to know before you start your project.
Do I need Furniture Shield if I used Satin Dreams paint?
Yes, strongly recommended for any surface that sees daily use. Satin Dreams paint is durable but not sealed. Furniture Shield adds the protective topcoat that resists water rings, scratches, and chipping at edges and corners.
Can I apply it over any existing finish?
Furniture Shield bonds best over GreenEZ products (Satin Dreams paint and Evolve Soy Stains) and over clean, lightly sanded surfaces. It can be applied over any water-based finish. Do not apply over oil-based polyurethane without testing first.
Which finish should I choose?
Satin is the most versatile and forgiving — best for most furniture. Gloss shows every surface imperfection, so prep work matters more. Matte is best for a chalk-paint look but is harder to clean and less recommended for tabletops.
How many coats do I need?
Two coats is the minimum for protection. High-traffic surfaces (dining tables, kitchen cabinets, kids furniture) benefit significantly from a third coat with light 400-grit sanding between coats for a factory-smooth feel.
How long before I can use the furniture normally?
Touch dry in 1 to 2 hours. Recoat after 2 to 4 hours. Handle with care for the first 24 hours. Full cure takes 7 days — avoid heavy use, heat, and moisture until then.
Can I use Furniture Shield on floors?
Furniture Shield is formulated for furniture and cabinetry. For hardwood floors, use our Floor Stripper system instead, which includes a floor-rated sealer designed for foot traffic and abrasion loads much higher than furniture.
