Poly Whey Product

[Ed Gibbons]

Anyone ever use this finish? Is a "green" product made with an extract that comes from making cheese!

Never used the furniture stuff, but I just had around 1,000 sq. ft of hardwood sanded and refinished last summer. Contractor used the Vermont Natural stuff, which I had never heard of. But he came highly recommended, so I went with it. I think we chose the satin finish and it looks fabulous - much better than the old shiny stuff. It's only been around 8 months, so too early to tell about how tough it'll be.

One word of caution. We had to get our refrigerator out of the kitchen for them to do the work. We used furniture sliders (the ones for hardwood) to put the refrigerator back, but the friction apparently made them too hot and it marred the finish. The contractor came back and repaired it without complaint, but it obviously takes a bit of time to cure properly.
