I have finished sanding the floor and want to use a water based

Handle it gently or you will get bubbles. You'll probably get them
anyway. You want the water base to keep the wood as light as
possible?


I like the idea of the quick dry time and the non yellowing that the
water base poly is suppose to give. I am trying to keep the wood
looking as natural as possible. These floors are 60 years old and
this is the first time that they have ever been re-done.


Keep in mind that your floor will look markedly different with water poly.
It has its uses but IMO wood looks dead with it...flat, no color, bluish...
