Sealing the Floors
When it came time to seal the floors we went to Lowe’s and bought a low lustre “clear” polyurethane. It seemed pretty simple. When we got home and opened the can, the polyurethane was very brown and I was really concerned about putting it on the floors. I couldn’t help but think that the color would alter the color of the floors even if it said it was clear. Not really knowing what other options we would find, we ran to our local hardware store in town and they carry Benjamin Moore products. The store employee opened the can for us to see what it looked like and it was a milky white color, very different from what we purchased at Lowe’s. The cost was a bit more per can but we wanted to make sure we go it right. As I said, the Benjamin Moore Stays Clear is a milky white poly that goes down completely clear and I didn’t feel that it changed the color much once it went down.
