Question 36

I can see in other Q&A's Marmoleum is not a good choice as an area rug over a hardwood floor in a high traffic area. Can't I superglue a grippy felt pad underneath and then lay it on a hardwood floor? For under a dining room table and chairs. Also considering making another rug under an island seating area, w/ bar stools. That's a lot of dragging of chairs, which could have pads on the legs. I'm not sure how I'd border the "rug" so that it doesn't get nicked. Maybe some carpet trim upholstery sewn onto the marmoleum and attached felt rug pad? I thought I could stencil a design onto the marmoleum and then seal it. (Using low-voc products, of course.) Any creative ideas? The horrible-for-the-planet vinyl floorclothes look amazing! Help me!

Question 44

Has anyone put a coat of gloss over a coat of matte? I had someone do my floors with this and discovered after the final coat that I have enough extra gloss left over for a 4th coat and wonder what it might look like. I'd rather add a layer for durability than waste it, but not if it's going to look bad. I'm not real concerned if it comes out a little glossier, but don't want "milky," but it's over a very light natural maple so maybe it won't appear "milky?" View answer
