Hi Jake

Bourneseal is an oleo-resinous floor seal made by Johnsons. That's the
brand leader and has become the generic name, like we call all vacuum
cleaners 'Hoovers'.

Many other companies make oleo-resinous floor seals and they are
excellent.

Look in your local Yellow Pages for Janitorial Suppliers and make a few
calls. Almost all of them will stock bourneseal or the same thing
under a different name.

The good thing about oleo-res sealers is that they sink into the wood
rather than just forming a coating on the surface. They are often used
in school halls to prevent splinters.

Best of all, they re coat easily. After a while any floor seal will
show wear in high traffic areas, doorways etc. With an oleo- res seal
you can give they area a light sanding and re coat it so it blends in
with the rest.

This is difficult to do with varnish and almost impossible with two
pack sealers.
Only downside is a longish drying time and a solvent smell.
