Q: Please tell me all you know about Waterlox. Will it work on 10′ wide pine planks (not reclaimed) and look good? Do you need to sand between coats? Can I stain first and then apply or should I just put the waterlox down?
A: Waterlox is amazing on pine, especially if staining. Mix he stain with WL 4-1 and apply. No adhesion issues. No need to buff between coats. Easy to apply another coat. What more can I say?
