Hi Guys,
I have a job to refinish a hardwood kitchen floor that has beveled edges. The depth of the gaps are about 1/8". The preference is not to sand down to remove the bevel. In some places gaps go down to the sub-floor. no amount of regular cleaning will keep these clean on a long term bases. After sanding and cleaning, any suggestions on how to seal or lightly fill the beveled edges to reduce the potential for dirt and grime from getting stuck?
Thanks for any feed-back!

I've used Dap 33 window glazing compound. It comes white but you can tint it with painters Tints-all

I've heard some guys have had success with just regular painters caulk

You want something that has a little flex in it so when the wood expands and contracts it will give and not crack

Thanks InterCounty.
Would the idea be to apply this to all the cracks then sand down the entire floor to make it even? I think I would need to fill all the cracks to make them all look the same. The kitchen is about 300 sq feet.
Here are some pictures.

Just sand & finish the floors as if they aren't there & restain with a similar color so they don't stand out. The finish will flow into the chamfers & they'll be far easier to clean after sanding.

What about the trowel filler? Might outline every board and look kinda weird.
