Clear finishes

Varnish is the first thing that comes to most peoples mind when I mention a clear finish.
With the new regulations coming into affect this year, water borne finishes are becoming the only choice. As with latex paint, the problem is that the open time (working time) is short, and these water thinned products don't bring out the look of the grain as well as their oil based cousins.
Benjamin Moore has a product called 'Stays Clear" an interior clear coating that is by far the best for interior finishing. Flecto has an interior Urethane for wood and floors that is also very good.
When applying these you must work fast and make sure you brush them out in both directions before laying them off. If you add colour contact me for more help before starting.
