I have finished laying down the last of my hardwood flooring. 3/4 by 3 1/4 white red oak mixture. I have filled in all of my knot holes etc. After sanding I was interested in a clear coat water based.

What are my options for brands ? Bona distributors are miles from me. Home Depot or Lowes are about 1 hr away.


What do I use as an applicator? 3 or 4 coats? What grit do I use between the 1st and 2nd coats?

thanks
Tina

tung seed oil, it will last for generations and it will be easy maintenance, fix any scratches with a wet rag

basic coating and bona for waterbase finish, the stuff from HD is not very good.

The top gloss of varnish or polyurethane will have that smooth, glassy look that you want only if you build up to it slowly, in multiple paper-thin layers (usually three to six coats).

they sell bona at the Lowes here. Othewise you can have it shipped right to your doorstep easy as google pie.
