I'm a little late for this thread...but I have two sections of my cabin sole in the kitchen with wet polyurethane . My cabin sole wasn't too bad for 35 years of service but had a few dings and scratches... an is a good winter project. I'm using Minwax fast drying Polyuruthane matte finish. 4 hour drying time means 3 coats per day. I gave it a fair sanding with 120 followed by 220 being careful not to get to bare wood. I did this a few years ago....it looks great, but , was pretty slippery....rugs would not stay in place and when healing under sail stuff slid all over.This time I have added crushed walnut shells to the last coat of Polyuruthane as a non skid. I did find one interesting post that said to use 3/4" masking tape over the holly so as not to have brown specks showing up. Getting the right ratio of walnut to Polyuruthane took some testing....I found that 1.5 teaspoons walnut to 4 oz. Polyuruthane seemed to work. The final problem is how to keep the crushed walnuts suspended long enough to get enough on the brush. We'll see...
