Just put a great stencil on my linoleum floor....

The Hubby and I are disagreeing...we are using acrylic paint, so I feel that we need a clear finish. All he finds is a finish for wood floors, so he surmises that it can't be applied on linoleum...help, please.

    What about the epoxy that is made for garage floors? There are pourable epoxies as well as "spreadable" epoxies.

    Min Wax has several different sealers.I would research the polyacrylic one. This seems to be the best for painted linoleum. Just make sure as with all sealers it is non yellowing.

    Hi I had great success with acrylic paint (2 coats quality buy) and 3 coats of polyacrylic sealer, 2 years later, it is still looking good. Use a mild detergent and a disinfectant to clean, nothing too strong. Good luck

    I transformed the white linoleum tile floors in my store when I owned it and painted every tile to look like satillo tile( Mexican tile) I used Behr acrylic paint and stained over to get an old look. I finished it off with Marine varnish. That was in 1994. That floor still exists and looks great today. I did a floor in a villa in France in 1998 the same way for a client, it also still exists.

    I have used varathane (hard wood floor poly uv abd satin/crystal clear) on linoleum floors that i painted and it worked perfect and held up. I dont know why you are not supposed to use it..but it works. Hope this helps.
