Is this water based polyurethane good for 50 year old oak floors?
I sanded down an oak floor that is 50 years old.
I'm considering putting "Pro Finisher by Parks" "Water-Base Polyurethane for Floors" "Crystal Clear Satin". It's sold at Home Depot.
Does anyone know if that is any good for 50 year old oak floors? I want to keep the floors as light as possible with preferably no ambering. But, I don't want something so undurable (is that a word?) that it won't hold up at all.
Thank You

Age of the floor has no bearing on durability of the finish, unless possibly if it had been waxed heavily.
I can't talk about that finish except if its not a 2-part catalyzed, its not going to hold up as well as some.
One thing you need to consider is that many water base sealers will look washed-out after a few years. Not very attractive(and I did it for years) This is why an oil or shellac sealer is often used under water base.

wood flooring--advantage to leaving natural?
We are planning on installing wood flooring in our new house. I like the look of old wood floors--no high gloss or waxey finish. If we use natural wood and simply rub linseed oil into it, will that be sufficient to protect from minor liquid spills?
