What finish to use on hardwood floor
I have a set of oak steps to finish and I don't really want to use minwax fast dry polyurethane. Is there another available product out there that is an oil finish I can buy locally. These are new treads.
thanks for any help

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Bruce, we did our floors before we moved in during 2004. Stained first with 2 parts cherry 3 parts mahogany. Then three coats of, get this, water based poly..... They have held up great. And I was very skeptical of the water based products.

Go with an oil based poly, my son just had his floors done and used oil based, 3 coats. A friend of his, same company, did the water based, took 6 coats and softer finish for scratches

yes I want to use oil poly but the paint stores, HDepot and Lowes only seem to have the minwax crap
I'm looking for real oil poly, I know I can get marine varish at a marine supply but I want satin finish
who locally sells floor oil poly?
I know the water based has come a long way but I don't want that

 Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.
