Re: Stus-List Interior Floor Varnish

[Dr. Mark Bodnar via CnC-List]

I recently installed new stair treads at home - replacing the old carpet stairs with new oak hardwood. But with kids at home I was concerned about traction with kids at home. I went to Home Depot and bought a small package of "paint grit" - only a couple $.  White powdery substance.  I was worried that it might stay white looking - but not at all. I mixed a bunch straight into my Polyurethane (MinWax) then rolled it onto the steps with my second coat. You can clearly see the grit as bumps in the surface - but the wood grain looks great and tons of traction (even in socks) with no colour change.  Mark There is no cure for birth and death save to enjoy the interval. - George Santayana On 23/10/2014 1:22 PM, Marek Dziedzic via CnC-List wrote: Bill,   do you know how slippery it is when wet?   I need to refinish the steps down the companionway.   Marek   From: Bill Coleman via CnC-List Sent: Thursday, October 23, 2014 11:57 AM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Subject: Re: Stus-List Interior Floor Varnish   On the recommendation of our local Shipwright, I used Minwax  Fast drying Polyurethane.  Satin.
