Is it possible to stain over existing polyurethane (flooring) 'Stain' is intended/designed to be absorbed _into_ the wood. There is an obvious problem with that approach, if there is something already in place that has 'sealed' the wood surface. or is there any way to tint the poly? Floor is in great shape and was just hoping to change color. "Something" added on top of the existing finish does *not* have to be 'clear'. Caveat: one can go 'darker', with little effort; going 'lighter' is *very* difficult using this method. _What_ to use, and *how* to install (i.e. existing surface prep, and applying the 'something') depend greatly on what already exists, and precisely what the 'something' is that you are trying to lay on top of it. Best advice: _test_ somewhere 'inconspicuous' *FIRST* |
