All of the products on our project are under the VOC limits, but we are running into an unknown on one product. We are using a clear wood varnish on all the wood paneling and millwork. The limit is 350 g/l, but the product is 550 g/l. All of the finishing will take place in an off-site shop, so it will not effect this credit. Although, it is anticipated that their will be an extreamly small amount of touch up on-site (filling nail holes, minor scratches, etc). Is this going to cause us to do the VOC budgeting for this miniscule amount of varnish?

Christopher, how much varnish do you think will be applied onsite, at the end of the day? I ask because "extremely small" can be in the eye of the beholder.Pending your answer to that question, my answer would be that you have discretion here.

We decided to not take the chance, and went with a compliant product that is 275 g/l.
Thanks.
