I have my own question to ask.
We've gotten 2 estimates, about the same price, to redo floors of the house we are buying.
One guy said that he would do 2 coats of resin based, the second, 3 coats of water based. Both guys come highly recommended, though the first comes *super* highly recommended. This in an area where people take their craftsmanship seriously (not their clothing though, unfortunately.) I've heard that the resin is more durable, has a nice, darker color, is thicker per coat. But that was one friend's opinion. I was wondering whether you guys could weigh in, either from experience or expertise, on this. I am a complete noob at this stuff, and everything I've read just confuses me.
Cheers,
Fok.

You have kids, so ask if they will do "bacca - glitsa." It smells like ****, and you have to move out for a day or two, but it wears like iron and is quite beautiful.

(3) Coats of Oil-Based Polyurethane is the way to go.Originally Posted by Lucky7
I'm confused after reading some sites. Is the Oil-based Polyurethane the same as the resin based?

I am pretty sure that resin based is what they are referring to as "oil based." Water based is sub-par, so I would totally write that off.
