It was a lead job. It isn’t too hard to do, you just have to record keep, barricade the work area, and clean like Martha Stewart afterwards. It was Glitsa (the smelly stuff). The funny thing is that the finish smell isn’t bad at all after 24 hours of airing out.

Awesome job. I love these short and informative before/after videos. I hope this pays off for you, Scott. You are one of the few contractors doing it right.

Did you use the water base or the old smelly stuff? The first time I saw the water based was when it first came out and Sheldon was still working for Glitsa and I worked at Higgens in Santa Maria by then.

Very good. Any lead? I know that has become a subject. Reminds me of my first days in the early 70s in connecticut.They painted every thing before then. I did a lot of them. Keep up the good communications so people will understand.

That is why I always trained my guys to be very careful and pay attention. You are right about the number of people who don’t understand the final look.

I did one that the home owner got from a skating rink. Talk about a challenge getting the skate marks out of maple was fun and it came out well.

I love it. The cool thing about a floor like that is that you can see the history in it.

It is good to see a business place restoring the original floor rather than throwing it away and starting over with new material. Great job!
