Specialist Compares
Wood Floor Finishes

Good flooI finishes look well, wear
we'll, are easy to care for, do not
show patching ( of worn spots, and re-
sist stains, S pots and moisture.
Jane Scho1pe, Ohio State Univer-
sity extension home furnishings spec
ialist says fl hishes are of two general
types - film forming, and penetrat-
ing wood sdals. Paint, varnish lac
quer and hellac are film forming
finishes.
Penetrating seals show less scratch
ing than film forming finishes and
usually weaA well because they tend
to toughen the wood. Seals give a
soft sheen rather than a high gloss
and can be patched without leaving a
spot Miss SchoHpe states. Most home
makers use wd x on pentrating seal
finishes to give added protection.
Film forming finishes make hard
film that protects the wood but may
| show scratches They eventually wear
off and must be renewed to continue
| protection. Mss Schope advises
homemakers to clean and renew film
type finishes that begin to get thin
in spots and before finishes wear
through because patching may show.
After several RENEWALS it is usually
| necessary to rempve all old finish
! and refinish the ba ire wood.
No finish is sup srior in all respects
and each will give good service when
we'll cared for, the specialist says.
Follow directions carefully when ap-
plying and caring for floor finishes,
she urges.
