Rust-Oleum Varathane Premium Floor Finish Oil Based Gallon

Durable easy to apply. Used both lamb skin and varathanes applicator and prefer varathane one. Smells pretty bad for a ling time. Did my house about 5 weeks ago and the smell is just now about gone. Note also to DIYers. We were doing old floors and we did 3 coats with 5 days dry time on last coat and heat cranked up a little so it would dry faster. Rented an orbital sander from home depot with 120 grit paper and went over everything before adding one final coat cleaning and damp mopping before. The finish came out excellent. I'm very happy with the finish it looks like I hired a pro. Also I used the first 2 coats semigloss and changed to satin as the semi was too wet looking and shinny. The satin finish was perfect. We did used a lot but I did fairly thick coats as I has old floors house was vacant and I had time to wait. Hope this helps others :)

Great stuff. I wanted semi-gloss to go with the hallway floors, but it wasn’t available. With satin on two bedroom floors that meet the semi-gloss in the hallway, it looks seamless. It is a beautiful clear coat so my stain color shines through. It was super easy to apply and dried within a couple of hours so I could decorate the rooms, which is the fun part after all that work sanding, staining, and sealing. It’s been on for 4 months now and in a tween and teen rooms and it still looks flawless. I recommend it highly.

I like the looks of this floor sheen and easy application.

Edited review: its less than a month later and a few things have chipped my floors. I’m really annoyed and trying to figure out how to fix it.I'm obsessed with this product!!!! It is SO GOOD! I painted my ceramic tile floors in my kitchen. I used this as my top coat to protect all my hard work. I spent a long time looking for a Polyurethane that was meant to be A, used on floors, B. be in a high traffic area, and C. not leave an amber color like so many other Polyurethanes, and last but not least- I did not want a super glossy finish. My search led me to this product, and I decided to give it a go. I used this entire container on 3 coats in my 250-300 sqft kitchen. It smells very strong, so open a window! It dries pretty quickly, but I did wait several hours before I felt safe enough to walk on it. It feels very smooth under bare feet but it doesn't feel so slick you are going to slip. I've already dropped a few things hard onto the floor but there has been no scratching or chipping to the finish. It has made my floors look very polished and was the perfect finishing touch! When I redo my hardwoods I will get the same product for sure!!!

Great product, good color, easy to use!!!! We covered 1500 square feet with 3 gallons per coat. We have original 1944 oak floors, they were in Horrible shape and required a drum sander to remove 1/8" from the surface to bring then back to life... DAYS of sanding (not as quick as the youtube videos made it out to be...) we wanted to ensure we had a good product to cover our hard work and this product has held up well. We are 3 months into having it on the floor and it has a wonderful color pop to the wood! (photos attached.)
