I have had bad luck

In reply to Finishing hardwood floors by Bess Holt on October 29th, 2002 10:04 AM [Go to top of thread]

I took up rugs, had old wax on hardwood floors. I sanded, properly, the three rooms, then applied a water-based poly, 5 coats, three hours drying in between and then 24 before heavy traffic.

They have held up horribly. I am going to call the manufacturing. I am so unhappy with their product. I had a toilet overflow (my four year old) and didn't catch it for about an hour and a half and the poly just flaked off. At my entrance, where snow and water would be exposed to the wood, I have a throw carpet and that is peeling off... My living room floor, from normal walking, has had to be done twice in eight months and needs it again....

Good Luck! Please let me know if someone else gives good suggestions.
