Brian, I don't think that 2 coats of waterborne is sufficient. I used 1
coat of sealer, 2 coats of gloss, and one coat of semi gloss. That is
pretty much the bare minimum. that stuff is THIN. I was told before I
started the job to do that many coats, and judging from the results, I
would even consider one more coat to not be a bad, although perhaps
unnecessary, idea. The pro's told me 2 coats is not enough. When you
get a competitive quote, they MAY be cutting corners to give you a good
price...ask around.

2 coats of finish is fine. I put 3 on my own. I put down 2 coats of seal
before the finish though. So it's 4 coats total. (5 on my own floors.)
I'd charge a little extra if they wanted a 5th coat (2 coats seal, 3
coats finish).

We only put 2 coats of on newly sanded gym floors. If it can stand up to
100s of kids almost every day all day for 1 year, it can take your
floors for MANY years.

Once you get to that part though, it's easy easy easy. All the hard work
is behind you.
