Re: Countertop Stain Test
Cool floor!
How did the sealer hold up? Did you think to test with coffee? |

Re: Countertop Stain Test
I did the same test with a sealer I use and I had absolutely zero staining or etching with bleach, coffee, mustard, lemon juice, and wine after 12 hours. I didnt use cotton, though. Just put the blobs right on the top sample.
I was using a poly hybrid sealer though. Yours looks like alot lower build though. What are you using? Love that floor btw. Thats going to look sharp when its got a shine to it.
