Okay, so I knew this was coming soon, but my sister is taking mom outta town for a week July 3 so my schedule just got bumped up perfect timing to do it since she will be gone for a week....happy July 4th to me :hitting_self_roller:
Anyway, I got the sanding all down pat and access to several type of large and small sanders, my questions are.....finishes.
Anyone recommend a rally good finish such as a good polyeurathane? My nephew used the "varathane" brand and after 8 months is showing scratches from the dogs and a table they re-did shows stains and water marks.
I heard water based finishes are easy to apply, dry quick but not very durable.
At this point it will be no pre-staining, just sand, clean and poly. May change once I pull carpet this weekend and actually see condition of floors. Been carpeted over for at least 45 yrs
What did you all use to apply? natural bristles or a mop type applicator?
Thanks!!!
