The Continuing Search for the Right Stain

Wednesday Mike came by to see the stain samples; he didn't like either one.

He looked at the board that I used to try out different combinations of stains. He outlined an area that matched the old flooring and took it to Sherwin Williams to get a computerized match.

On Thursday he comes back with it, sands a small area, and applies the first coat. After waiting 15 minutes, he wipes it down. Close.

We decide that I will put on a second coat in 12 hours, leaving it on for 12 minutes. Closer yet.

Today the two Derricks sand the floor lightly and apply the first coat.

I hope that when we return, we all like the floor.
