Question 1

I am wanting to use your Rubio Monocoat, Oil Plus 2C, Interior Stain Kit on my HEMLOCK flooring. I would love to finish to look like the current sanded raw wood. We sampled the PURE (clear) and it added a sheen and a slight amber. Do you have a color you would suggest it I want the wood to appear 'untreated'? I know it needs some sheen as a matte finish shows everything.Thank you View answer
