Question 10

Hello, I am interested in this product. Like many people here, I've recently refinished some rooms in my house with an oil based poly and the smell still isn't gone. I'd like to finish the rest with this product, but I'm worried about it not matching the rest of the floors. I have 100- year-old red oak that's being sanded and refinished. Will this finish give the floors a similar look in terms of color, to a classic poly finish? Thank you! View answer

Question 12

I have a morning room in my old house that also serves as my "dog room". There is an exterior door and so there is often water tracked in from wet feet and paws. Also, old dogs are prone to occasional accidents, stomach upsets, etc. I really don't want to put down more vinyl and would prefer to use marmoleum since it is true to the era of my home and is a "green product". Would that be wise ? If so, should I use click, glue down tiles or sheet? View answer
