  • What’s the forum approved wax/oil for Victorian sanded floorboards? We’re about to sand back our floors and are keen for a subtle finish that will be as close to the original colour of the pine as possible

  • Any finish will yellow it. And the pine will yellow/darken over time anyway. Osmo Polyx clear is what a lot of people (including myself) have used and recommend. There’s also fiddes which is a bit cheaper and some prefer it, but I think it scratches easier.

    Edit, here’s a photo mid sanding vs finished with osmo polyx clear. Because it’s more reflective when oiled, it looks a bit lighter in the photo, but hopefully you get the sense of the tone change. The floor is beech not pine, but the colour change will be similar.
