Stair finish

On to the finish of my stair treads and risers. I'm going with a poly but uncertain which one to use. Suggestions?



Thanks


no brand recommendation but i have minwax and flecto

but read that tiny print

General Finishes Arm-R-Seal should work.

No personal experience - but I have heard good things about the General top coat products - and they're $ 35 - 40 per QUART in Canada from LV. John T.

If it's stairs, use a finish specifically intended for floors.

Googling, it looks like Bona Traffic is the hot stuff right now--you can get it from Amazon but it's a two component product with a four hour pot life so it may be more than you want to get into.

Note that I have not used it--for all I know it may be utter crap from a company with a good marketing engine, but it seems to have a lot of buzz.
