Question 18

I have some worn wood flooring in my condo that I want to refinish in a safe way. I was wondering which products you recommend would be the simplest and safest to use. I was looking at the BioShield Hard Oil and AFM Naturals Clear Penetrating Oil because it says they are food grade, so I thought they would be good for flooring if you expect to be walking barefoot. However, I am not sure if they require long drying times and mechanical burnishing or sanding. Is here anything that can be applied that does not require burnishing? I would like to try to do the job myself. View answer

Question 45

20 years ago we used a " natural"oil wax (my memory thinks it was called OS wax) on the 6" maple plank floor that's in our kitchen and throughout the 1st floor. I remember a feature: supposedly you could just clean & lightly sand worn areas and reapply, and it would blend... Can I do this with Safe Coat, or do I have to sand the whole floor? The whole kitchen area is pretty worn down and grey, so I need to "refinish" that area and blend with the golden color of the floor that has been under rugs. View answer
