Dear DIYers, I have just sanded a 2 x 4 m bedroom floor in my "heat pump" house project (much amused and mainly agreeing with TNPhilosopher whose musings I have just read!) and want to tap in on the combined expertise of the group. WEAR The requirements are for a product that will WEAR EVENLY (Clark's Permanent Floor Fininsh two pack - smells like hell - which I used in the late 1970s only required one or two layers but chipped badly in areas of high use and I had to replace it with single pack polyurethane in lots of - about 6 (!) - coats). NUMBER OF APPICATIONS It would be good if this can be kept to an optimum minimum number - no mor than three please - so a product that goes on in a decent thickish layer would be better than 7 coats of a thin layer SMELL Preferably not smelling too bad Desirable but not essential AVAILABILITY Easy to get by 12 noon today in Anglesey!
Absent any other advice, I plan on a decent quality polyurethane single pack in three coats with the first coat a thinned down first coat as a "primer".
Any recommendations on makes and application methods most welcome! Chris
