    Default Cabot vs Wattyl Water-Based Floor Varnish

    Hi all,

    I will soon be tearing up the carpet in my newly acquired house (yay ) and polishing the floorboards.

    My lungs aren't great and I want to stay away from nasties as much as possible. It looks like the best choices come down to Cabot and Wattyl water-based varnishes.

    Any preferences or are they much of a muchness? Also, if there is any left, it is likely that it will find use in other applications...

    Cheers

    Cam

    The cabots is a nice hard finish that's perfect for floors. Being water base it doesn't change the timber colour very much at all. Its a great finish on kitchen bench tops

    Haven't tried the wattyl but their products are usually good quality.

    Thanks.

    We were leaning towards Cabot anyway - I just thought that I would double check.

    Cheers
