After another coat of black
paint on the base cabinets, we ripped up the paper on the floor and gave it a
good cleaning in preparation for applying a clear coat.
Over the course of the day,
I put FIVE coats of clear water based semi-gloss verathane on the floor. Every
2 hours I put on another coat, cutting in with a brush, and then using a flat
pad attached to a pole for the main areas. I finished up the final coat at 9 pm.
In between coats, I put 2
coats of clear polycrylic on the backs of the doors.
And 2 coats on the drawer
fronts. Since I used matt black paint, the clear coat gave them some shine and
the durability they need in a kitchen.
And now we know: all those
coats and the time sanding really paid off…the floor looks amazing. Also that
clear coating dries incredibly fast.
