I’m wanting to sand and stain my red oak hardwood floors throughout my home. My girlfriend and I want a darker gray stain color (some sort of Jacobean and Classic Gray mix) to hide most of the red of the wood to fit the rest of the theme of the house. I’ve been browsing and it seems as though to get specific stain colors one has to use oil based stains. I’m not opposed to this, but I have read varying opinions on the finish. Some say that you would need to wait a little longer (2-3 days) and apply a water based poly to avoid the ambering. Some say to not mix water and oil. Others claim that the oil based poly won’t noticably “Amber” if the stain is the darker gray we’re aiming for.Any feedback would be appreciated! via /r/DIY https://ift.tt/2F8lyVF
