My advice is to take advice from someone who has done it thousands of times instead of someone who's done it a handful of times. Better yet, like I said above, hire someome who has done it a thousands times before
You're right don't pay any attention to me and my popsicle stick. I haven't done thousands of floors but a lot including matching antique furniture and no doubt have finished and refinished far more floors and antique furniture then I have tried kicking homelsess rapists in the head. But I guess I could give it a try or should I mind my own business and leave it to the professionals?
Oh but me and my popsicle stick did do this, I guess it's sorta kinda similar to a wood floor? Do with the information as you wish.
and FYI- Gregprk, if you read the whole thing after the popsicle stick I said get a scrap piece of wood to get a better sample and mix the color.
Sorry masraum for the brief hijack.
