| We're installing a new green-treated deck and I read the fine print on the boards' label. It says to wash your skin if you come into contact with the wood. We have a 3-year-old son who loves to run around barefoot. Aarghhh! When we seal the deck next summer, will it then be more safe to walk on with bare feet? Would an oil-based or water-based sealer be better for this application?
Thanks!
