Default Floor Finish ?

I have finished sanding the floor and want to use a water based poly. Is
there anything special about water based that I need to know? I have

I just read that with water based poly you should use a base coat. After
you apply the base coast do you sand before putting on the first coat of
poly?

Thanks
Chris


the main thing you need to know about water based poly is that it will
turn out looking like plastic and fake. And milky looking if over a
dark wood. Use some real floor finish if you want it to look like
something.
