Hi all...
I have just completed sanding down the wood floor in my kitchen and was
wondering what type of product I should use to protect it with. Because we
don't get too much natural light in the kitchen, I would prefer to keep the
floors as close to the natural wood colour as possible.
Any help is much appreciated!!!
Thanks.
Actually, it's the other way around: waterbased is water resistant, not
oil.

I forgot to add that over time, oil based poly turns amber, which many
people happen to like. However, if your preference is otherwide, again,
go with the waterbased.

Use a water based finish. It's what I am told they use on basketball
courts now.

Oil-base is much more water resistant than water-borne.
