Floor SeaIer Practices
Revealed in Circular

Modern floor seals are a happy
medium between the older hnseed
oil finish and the more recent var
nish and shellac finishes, accord
ing to the Forest Products Labora-
tory, maintained by the United
States Forest Service at Madison,
Wis. The "seals"-thin varnishes,
or bodied drying oils-penetrate less
deeply than an embodied oil such as
linseed, but more deeply than or
dinary floor varnishes. Floor seals
saturate a surface layer of the floor
and are embedded in the wood
rather than coated over 1t.
Embodied oils, such as raw or re-
fined linseed, soybean, tung or peril
la oils, are those which have not
been heated or treated chemically
to increase their viscosity.
Years ago floors commonly were
finished with repeated applications
of hot linseed oil. Each applica-
ton was buffed by hand. When the
surface was saturated with oil, 1t
was waxed and maintained by wax
ing. This laborious finish was dur
able, did not show scratches. and
could be patched at places of maxi
mum wear, but it fell into disrepute
as floor oils were increasingly adul-
terated with non-drying mineral
oils, and was replaced by varnish

Investors whose savings In thrift

and shellac finishes. On objection
to these finishes Is that worn places,
in the substantial floor coating they
form, show through patching or
even recoating.
The trend now is back to the old
oil finish, but with floor seals or
bodied oils in place of linseed, says
a recent United States Department
Of Agriculture publication. However,
1t appears that shellac still remains
the most widely used finish for
floors in certain parts of the coun-
try, such as the large cities Of the
East, and that floor seals probably
are now being used somewhat more
extensively than floor varnishes.
More information on floor seals,
other floor finishes, and the install
lation and maintenance of wood
floors is in the recent Forest Service
Circular 489, which may be obtained
from the superintendent of docu-
ments, Washington, at 5 cents q
