Article: Choose a small, simple statue so that the burial will be easier to perform. You can by saint statues at Catholic supply stores and online. The ideal height is between 3 and 4 inches (7.6 and 10 cm). Nowadays, you can even buy a St. Joseph "home selling kit" from retailers and some real estate offices. These kits usually come with a small statue of St. Joseph, a prayer card, and instructions on the practice. Take a soft, clean washcloth or similar material and wrap it around the statue several time, covering all sides, including the top and bottom. Consider placing the wrapped statue in a resealable plastic bag, as well. You could also wrap the statue in plastic wrap or place it directly in the plastic bag without first wrapping it in a cloth. The idea is simply to protect it from as much dirt and damage as possible. Wrapping the statue is a matter of practicality, but more importantly, it is also a sign of respect. Even though you are burying his statue, St. Joseph is still a saint, so you should demonstrate a certain degree of respect for his likeness. Dig a hole in your yard that is deep enough to fit the entire statue. Place the wrapped statue inside, then fill the rest of the hole in with dirt. Note that any specifics concerning the exact placement of the statue vary depending on who you ask, so there is no one definitive choice. The most common tradition holds that you should bury the statue near the "For Sale" sign or near the road. Place the statue inside the hole upside-down and facing your house. Others insist that the statue should face the road to symbolize the act of leaving the home. Some traditions also suggest placing the statue right side up or lying on its back, pointing toward the house like an arrow. You could also consider placing the statue 3 feet (1 m) away from the rear of the house or in your rear yard flower bed. If you live in an apartment or a condominium, you may not have a yard that you can bury the statue in. Under these circumstances, you should bury the statue in a large flower pot. Place the flower pot on a deck, patio, or windowsill. The flower pot can have something growing in it, but this is not a strict necessity. Note that the rest of the tradition stays the same. You should still wrap the statue in protective cloth and treat it with the same degree of reverence. If the thought of burying a statue of St. Joseph seems disrespectful to you, consider placing the statue in your home, instead. Set the statue down in a window or on a counter in clear sight of the "For Sale" sign in your yard. When doing this, you do not need to wrap the statue in protective cloth. Burying the statue is a matter of tradition, not doctrine. There is no Catholic doctrine stating that burying a statue of St. Joseph will help you sell your house. Church teachings do suggest that calling for St. Joseph's intercession when selling your home can help, though, which is why keeping a statue of St. Joseph in your home during the sale would likely work just as well as burying the statue.

Article: 1USgal (3.8L) of Waterlox will cover 500 sq ft per coat. 1qt (0.95L) will cover 125 sq ft per coat. You can use Waterlox's online "Purchase Assistant" to help you determine how much finish to buy: https://www.waterlox.com/support/purchase-assistant. Typically, you'll need 2 basecoats and 1 topcoat. This means that for a 500 sq ft area, you would need 2USgal (7.6L) of Waterlox Original Sealer/Finish and 1USgal (3.8L) of whatever topcoat you choose. You may need more coats for very porous, untreated, or recently sanded wood surfaces. Waterlox is a potentially harmful chemical solution, so you must always protect yourself against its effects during use. Wear safety goggles and gloves whenever you are handling this product. Nitrile gloves work best for this purpose. Ventilation is crucial when using Waterlox. If you are unable to ventilate the area properly, you should not use this product. Cross-ventilation is best to aerate the room and to help the finish dry. For best results, place a box fan in a window or door with another window or door open on the opposite side of the room. You should ventilate the room while you are applying the finish and while it is drying between coats. Continue ventilating the area for at least 7 days after applying the final coat to ensure the finish is properly dried and to help evacuate the solvent odor. It is imperative that you vacuum the surface you want to finish completely before applying the Waterlox. This will remove any dust or debris left on the surface so that it doesn't get painted over. Consider using a shop-vac or a canister-style vacuum for best results on larger surface areas. For smaller surfaces, use a damp microfiber cloth to remove any dust particles. After vacuuming, wipe the surface with a dry rag to get up any remaining flecks or fibers that the vacuum may have missed. Wrap your sand block with 220-grit sandpaper and rub it across the surface of the wood in 2ft (0.61m) to 3ft (0.91m) sections. Be sure to go with the grain of the wood as you sand it. Do not sand the wood too roughly or this could remove any existing protective stain. When finished sanding, wipe the surface with a rag to remove any leftover debris from the sanding process.

Buy enough Waterlox to get the job done. Purchase safety goggles and gloves. Ventilate the area properly. Vacuum or dust the surface thoroughly. Lightly sand the wood surface.
