[SML] Stage floor paint

[Nancy Christian]

Have no idea. Water-based. The facilities department of the college handled this contract. My attempts to get answers have not been successful.

My colleague who retired last year used to take care of the floor. Whenever we had the floor drum sanded, he would make his own sealer with a mixture of linseed oil and turpentine heated in an oil drum. Being in California, the floor company could not follow this formula. I’m thinking the past years of linseed oil in the pine isn’t playing nice with the water-based sealant and that is what isn’t allowing the tough prime to stick. The sticky paint issue is different. I tried some Valspar exterior deck paint that did the same thing as the Sherwin Williams.

...... We had a floor company take all the paint off and even the floor off and re-seal last summer and it has been a disaster ever since then. The SW is at least sticking to the floor but for some reason is sticky itself. It “buffs” itself out after a few usages but we haven’t been able to find anything yet that doesn’t peel up with gaff and is sticky after applying.

what did they "reseal" it with ?
