Question 10

I have new solid oak floors that have been sealed with AFM naturals oil wax finish. They are beautiful when looking straight down at them; however when looking lengthwise they look dry and show sanding variations. (We took this flooring from tree to floor after years of drying time and we sanded them instead of having a professional). Would the bioshield help even out the look? Also we live in a very sandy area and have pets. There will be a lot of traffic on these floors. Would I need to strip the bioshield and start over periodically or can I just continue to apply and buff? View answer

I build custom recording studio furniture, mainly desks. I'm currently using solvent based stain and a pre cat lacquer spray for the finish.

Rubio Monocoat seems to be advertised for wood flooring, but would it be suitable for a daily use desk? View answer
