Great video. I like the true technical advice on how the product was manufactured to be used. However in today's world I don't think you'd be able to sell the idea without top coats of finish. Customers want some form of protection between them and the wood. I would have to agree with them. In the Practical world this would wear poorly compared to a floor that had finish on it. Duraseal may have a great product, I use it everyday, I put finish over everyday. Bona is stealing the market for finishes. I like all the duraseal oil and water-based finishes. Many of my customers are specifying Bona because they are online experts in 15 minutes. Bona is great as a finish as well. Truth is Bona marketing and immersion in social media is much deeper and in front of customers eyes. Either way I always have to make sure the customers needs, expectations, and specifications are met. The customer is always right. Basically all name brand finishes and stains you find are fine if you apply them properly, using care, fixing flaws, and attention to detail.

I have the Duraseal Nutmeg finish, and it is a beautiful light brown, honey color. I don't see why they sanded the floor so much so that they basically took all color away!
Howdy! Great vid. I am a Duraseal user, 10 years strong. Still have not found a better "stain" than Duraseal. Have you figured out the cerusing effect yet?? Really needing to up my colour matching game here. I am very good at colours, but the cerusing is killing me.
If you take a look at NWFA's Sand and Finish Guidelines section under Colorants, pages 54-55, we discuss iron acetate reactive conditioners. That will give you a good start! If not, we always recommend contacting an NWFA certified professional.

Just got done hand scraping floor and 100 grain finish sanding. I've gotten my quick coat and want to use 2 coats to finish using wax. Do I need to use steel wool ? Thnx for this video
Check with the flooring manufacturer for proper application of wax. Steel wool is one of the most common tools used to finish the wax after application. The purpose of using Steel wool is to polish the surface of the floor through pushing the wax into the wood through friction and heat. 000 or 0000 Steel wool is normally suggested and sufficient to help work the wax into the floor.
Is quick coat water based or oil? If you put polyurethane on top of the quick coat, do you need to sand the quick coat before applying the polyurethane? What type of Polyurethane works best on top of the quick coat, oil or water based polyurethane?
We think the Duraseal quickcoat is oil stain. Oil or water are compatible as long as the stain has completely dried. We recommend contacting DuraSeal for product specs.
The steel wool is for burnishing the stain into the wood, and it leaves a very smooth polished texture. Removing the stain with towels is fine if you're going to finish the floor with polyurethane..
The use of Iron acetate, or any reactive conditioner works well on wire brushed flooring as well as with any other sculpted or sanded surface. Natural, penetrating oils, and stains also work well on any of the above types of flooring. Regarding the burnishing these oils require, when burnishing a surface with texture (such as wire brushed), it is necessary to ensure you leave no residual oil in the low-points of the flooring surface (i.e. the low points of the wire brushed surface). You can safely address this by using softer burnishing pads, or towels (depending on the finish manufacturer requirements) on the final steps of the process. With heavy wire-brushed surfaces, you may need to take extra steps to ensure all of the oils have adequately penetrated into the floor surface. We’d recommend contacting the manufacturer of the oil for proper application techniques.
Penetrating finishes are in a completely different category from film-building finishes. Polyurethane finishes are typically in the film-building category. Film-building finishes leave a protective plastic film on top of the wood. The durability of film-building finishes varies from product to product. Penetrating finishes are designed to soak into the wood and harden from within. The durability of each of these types of finishes is difficult to compare and also varies from product to product. As with all wood flooring finishes, it is important to match the type of finish, and the maintenance required, to the lifestyle they are being used in.

Can this be applied on already finished wood floors? Does it need sanding before applying?
I love this video! I wish it was done on a red oak floor too as that's what I have and Im scared to do the vinegar and steel wool first....

I use a grape flavor energy drink for a cooler effect.

What’s the durability of this compared to a polyurethane finish.

Film-building finishes leave a protective plastic film on top of the wood. The durability of film-building finishes varies from product to product.
