Hi Steve - My floors were stained today, poly goes on tomorrow, + I am not happy with the coverage - my floors, unfortunately, are old white oak, + I went with 4 parts Dark Walnut to one Jacobean, and they're using a product just like minwax, color wise, but faster drying, and then an industrial grade quick dry water based polyurethane, 3 coats satin, tomorrow. There are light areas where it looks like the wood didn't suck up enough stain + they say a 2nd coat won't make a diff - is this true?
Hey Steve, can you give us more detail on the advantages of oil-based vs. water-based stain? So far, the only thing I've heard is that oil based stains give off more fumes, and require solvent for clean-up. But are there some advantages to oil-based stains? And what criteria (other than fumes and clean-up) should I use to choose a stain for my project?
@mitchnickpictures
I totally agree with you! Ive spend hundred
of dollars for the furniture when infact I can
do one. So I decided to purchase that program
cause it has complete detail on it and I
don have to waste my time and money. And
I can save more too. Thanks too it.
PS= you misspelled the site name. It should be:

@papagena1 Oil-based are more durable but got strong fumes, water based very low fumes but less durable, its a choice.
