Good to 'see' ya! Here is an update. Most of the floors are now dry enough to walk on. We used a small heater in a couple of rooms and that seemed to help 'cure' the finish. Just waiting on one room. I did leave more of the stain on the floor in that room as I did the 'wipe-off' step. It was just so pretty with the extra deep stain color and I was becoming over-confident. :) hmmm. I have now moved the heater to see if that will help. I have no doubt that this would not be a problem if we had sanded and fully prepped....but we just did not want to put that much effort into it. So, for my purposes, it has turned out nicely.....just had to have a bit of patience. Hey Vickie! Good to ’see’ ya!

I'm curious about how long it takes to dry, but it does sound like a perfect product for us older DIYers!!! I love the deep color and the satin sheen.

I would have said 70 or 80, but my in-laws and Grandma are those ages and appear to be more agile than I am. :) Lucky thing we still have several kiddos that can help with lots of it. Seriously, though. It is perfect for us old DIYers. Oh, it would be soooo much more fun if my body wasn’t already acting like a 90 year old one.

Your new business sounds like fun! Seriously. I love manual labor. I'm not being sarcastic. Yes, I do love the rich color and satin sheen.
