hi,

i've just finished sanding my floorboards....I now need advice on the best way to varnish/stain them with a walnut finish.

the floorboards are pine, not in a great condition...what kind of finish should i go for e.g rock/diamond hard...

any advice you can supply little old me would be very gratefully received.

love

Floor stain

First you need to put your stain on then top coat it with a clear, make sure you ask for compatability with your local hardware guy/girl. I've always preferred the look of satin as a full gloss will show up all the marks. If you stick with a polyurethane top coat it will be more durable
