  • i just finished installing my new floors and i really need something to put on top to protect it from scratches and maybe add a little shine. i want something that will last a long time and preferably water based. hit reply, thanks

  • @robertdeuce I would probably go with either Bona "Traffic" semi-gloss or Basic Coatings "Street Shu" semi-gloss. Both are very hard and designed for commercial applications therefore should last a long time for you (with proper care). Thanks for watching!

  • I am about to start a huge refinish job at a retail store that will remain open as we work. What low VOC and water based product is out there. The floors are Junckers. Beech wood.

  • @NoelLeon21 Basic Coatings Street Shoe is a low VOC water based. I would probably use that.

  • I remember first using Street Shoe in '90 @ Mrs.Nordstrom's house (rolled the dice on a couple thousand feet) and fell in love with that finish. Started using it in their stores and tons of commercial and residential. (Bill Price wasn't too fond of our switch over, pushed self seal, curator, etc, all mediocre/garbage compared to ss IMO). Pallman had some good water based. Bought their Super81 by the pallet, way better than Synteko. Nice video.

I am doing another one and will use possibly street shu or varathane's water base poly.

  • NWFA great schools and instructors. Is this a intermediate class ? At what level are you now ?

  • Most waterborne coatings are decent for most applications. Some better than others. Single component Sport Kote is awesome and not pricy to use!

  • you guys should buy us flight tickets and hire us for your refinish/installation/design jobs.
