The solid wood would not be required to be reported under this credit, but and adhesives used in the manufacturing, on or off site, must meet the requirements. As well, if there are adhesives used on site for installation or the stain is used on site for touch ups, they must be reported.
The stain, if applied off site, is not required

Thank you for your quick reply John!
Could you please tell me where in the reference guide states the exclusion of solid wood?
Is everything within the waterproofing membrane (except for healthcare and school projects) required to fall under a category and comply with the respective requirements? This excludes off site applied paints, coatings, adhesives, sealants, and office accessories.
The reference guide confuses me when it references interior floor, wall, and ceiling finish in the glossary. I then hear comments on this page asking about compliance requirements for structural members.
