Rust-Oleum Varathane Crystal Clear Floor Finish Water Based Gallon

Easy to apply, low odor, fast drying. Looks beautiful on the old floors. It does require 3 or 4 coats and I lightly sanded before the last coat.

been using this product for 12 years for my small business and home and I absolutely love it

I am relatively new to wood floors, so cannot compare this to other choices. However, I was happy enough with the first gallon that I purchased two more.It came out well, was easier to apply, and much less odorous than an oil-based varnish that I had used before. I tried a lambs wool applicator but found that it would catch on small edges of my floor and leave fibers. I had better success with an synthetic applicator pad designed for staining decks.The odor is a little strong when applying. I wore a respirator to be safe. But it fades quickly and is completely gone in about 48 hours.

This stuff is GREAT!!! My son who’s a contractor gave me the tip to use this over my newly restrained wood floors. It dries fast. By the time I finished applying a complete coat it would be dry enough to start again. I did 4 coats over 2 different days. Easy clean up. That was 5 months ago, and it still looks great.

I will continue to use this product to create homemade, prefinished plywood for cabinets. I have not used it on floors.I used this product to finish the inside of a vanity cabinet that needs to be waterproof and durable. It was easy to apply. However, it did form bubbles during applications, and I had to smooth it with a foam brush.
