Is it available in a satin finish? I don't want gloss.
Asked by Kitty October 30, 2017Our Varathane Stain and Polyurethane is available only in a semi-gloss finish. If a satin finish is desired, we recommend applying our Varathane Water-Based Satin Polyurethane over the Stain and Polyurethane once it has dried: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Varathane-1-qt-Clear-Satin-Water-Based-Interior-Polyurethane-200241H/100169146
Do you have to sand the floors or remove the older stain and polyurethane that is still on?
Asked by DiamondRK June 24, 2016No you should not have to remove the old poly just buff the surface with a sander and and a buffing pad and wipe down with mineral spirits and let fully dry then you should be free to coat. Remember with any thing try a small area in an out of sight line location and do a test spot to ensure that you get the desired results.
