How safe is to use with soft wood parts (alder, basswood)? Is it soft enough to don't leave marks?

I haven't used it with alder or basswood, but it doesn't leave marks on other soft woods such as pine and poplar. The jaws are fairly soft plastic so it's been my experience that they won't damage softer woods as long as the clamping force is distributed over as large an area as possible and the vise is not over tightened.

Yes - it is food safe and works on any wood. I used it to finish off several maple and walnut serving trays. I sanded to 220 and applied 3 coats of this about an hour apart wiping off the excess after about 20 minutes. They turned out beautifully.

Yes, but as with any cleaner, it'd be best to test it somewhere inconspicuous first.Not all wood finishes have the same durability. Particularly as this has to dwell for 10 minutes to disinfect, less durable finishes might not hold up.

Do not use on real wood. For synthetic wood and plastic based products only. You may be able to clean it off with mayo. A least it will not hurt the wood. This may sound strange but it works.

do not use on wood. You won't be able to clean the residue off. No need to worry about spills. This is a paste or heavy cream.

Far from it--it's really awesome and soft. I don't see it damaging any type of wood

We have used this product on soft wood and then covered with varnish or a wood sealer and it has worked fine. We have not used it and then put a stain over it. I suggest you take a scrap piece of wood and apply the wood hardener and then the stain. My concern would be the stain does not cover evenly or uniformly over the wood and the hardener

I used it on a 1/2" thick MDO plywood. By the end of the cut, the friction heat build up was considerable. I think the problem would get worse if the material was thicker or harder. I would estimate for soft woods, up to 1" thick is the limit. Be sure to reverse the work piece and start from the other side when about half way through in order to get a clean cut on the reverse side. I initially used a Makita battery powered drill and I think it was too much for the drill. It went much easier with a heavy duty corded drill.

It's really soft wood. Will get dented easy. Didn't try long enough to see if it breaks.

I haven't washed it, yet, but, when I do, I plan to fill the sink or a bowl with sudsy Woolite and swish it around in it, then rinse it. I would guess that soaking it would ruin the wood finish. BTW, I love this brush!!

I use it on all of my wood furniture and wood cabinets, but I don't have any experience w/ wood that has been treated for heat/water resistance. I would think that it would be fine. I started using it when an antiques dealer recommended it to keep wood conditioned and looking good, and I've loved the product ever since.

Will not be an issue. I have even used it on the wood many times and the smell does not linger.

It depends on the finish. If they're finished with a thick, glossy polyurethane spar varnish, you're basically cleaning plastic, so this might be okay if you make it dilute enough. If it has a rubbed oil finish, a degreaser will strip the finish. If the finish has become too degraded, you might need to strip it, but using a water-based degreaser will raise the wood grain, which is not desirable. You'd be better off cleaning with lemon oil and then applying a finishing oil. In any case, your best course is to follow the manufacturer's care instructions.

we have old school parkay wood floors and very heavy pot/plants and they ahve not left a mark on them, but I think it might depend on the type of wood you have. There are small rubber 'feet' at the ends of each leg, that I think helps as well.

The finish is rather nice and very durable. But one must keep in mind that it is wood. And just like all wood products, it can be damaged if abused. If scratches and nicks are a concern, perhaps some type of covering should be used to keep the finish flawless?

I haven't used it for that reason. It's not super sticky, but I think your felt might rip if left on for a long time.

The rubber is soft & pliable. We have hardwood floors & they did not leave any marks.
