Opaque, jet black, high gloss finish?

by

Q: I am looking for an opaque, jet black, high gloss finish for a freshly sanded oak floor. Any ideas on what products to use?

A: Perhaps Min Wax has something like that in their polyshades line. I don’t know that I would be using it on my floor though. Another idea may be to mix the blackest stain with Waterlox and apply that.
