I once watched a Boeing jetliner being
sprayed with a new coat of protective finish.
Inside the finishing bay, heat, humidity, and

these very expensive airplanes.
Whether it be airplanes, automobiles, cabinetry,
or furniture, manufacturers recognize
that a proper finishing environment is essential

protection to the substrate.
The same rules apply to the finishing of
wood flooring. The performance demanded of
