Non toxic paint for a kitchen table

Hammer| Posted inGeneral Questionson

Hey hope everyone is doing well. I bought a kitchen table back in July from Ashley furniture, table started peeling in 2 weeks. I complained and they sent a technician to basically paint it with a marker. Few weeks later peeled even worse. Long story short they refused to replace table or give me a refund. I’m stuck with a brand new table that continues to peel. What can I do to reseal it without major sanding and starting over? It’s a kitchen table I could cover it all the time but I still want option to eat off of it. What could I use to seal this correctly? I don’t mind changing to color, I just want whatever I use to stay on.

    If the original coating is peeling, you pretty much have to remove it before putting on something new. Otherwise whatever you put over top is just going to come off with it. Just about anything that completely dries will be food safe once cured.
