How can you seal a painted bathroom floor?
A few months ago I asked you for advice on painting a vinyl floor in my bathroom. I followed your directions and it looks great! I was told to seal the floor. I don't know what kind of a product to use. I asked at Menards and all they could suggest is varathane with satin finish. The paint feels alittle sticky (it's dried) when you walk on it. I tried baby powder but that didn't last. Could you help me with this final part of the project?
Thank you so much for your help.

Hey Christine! Varathane polyurethane will work, just make sure and use water-based if you used water-based paint, and oil based poly if you used an oil based paint! I will say oil based poly usually has a yellow tint to it, so if you painted them a light color it may yellow it slightly. And since you have put baby oil on the floor, make sure clean the floor really well before applying a sealer! Hope this helps!
Three coats of a water based polyurethane. Dries clear and will not yellow. Do not use oil based poly. Has a yellow cast to it and will yellow over time.
If you used white paint, do not use an oil based product or it will turn yellow. Use 2-3 coats of polycrylic.
