Thanks for this. We are pretty rough on our floors and, the cost of a professional finish is ghastly, so I have been looking into Floorfin for some of the reasons Sara mentions: no chipping and easy to recoat.

Qx: since it is oil, is there a need to sand a Floorfin-treated floor? Our house is pretty old, and the wood it getting awfully thin ...

6-8 hours a coat sounds more appropriate for Profi...

6-8 hours a coat sounds more appropriate for Profin. We tell our customers (and it has been my experience with using the product) that 12-24 hours per coat is more true. At 6 hours the finish is still quite tacky.

Another thing is that there IS a water based 'Swedish' which is very similar to our Crystal Fin.

You can also tell your clients that in older homes where a more traditional look is desired, they should use the Floorfin. Being a penetrating oil finish, it's easy to recoat, never cracks and chips and really enhances the beauty of open grained woods like oak, mahogany and hickory. It's what I'd use in my parent's 1909 Cap Hill home (were they ever to let me redo their floors).
