Consumers should stay away from sealants or decopauge used by many vendors today in "home made" crafts. Lacquer is a widely used "sealant" for most homemade knobs & pulls & is Very Toxic even when dried. This is especially true for children, pets & elderly people.

Consumers should also shy away from  Wooden knobs whether they are painted or natural. Wooden knobs are not very practical for use in kitchens or baths.
