The acrylics are on the left and just look muddy, which is very common aging for acrylics. They sometimes look like old dijon mustard, too. In either case, they qualify for the butt-ugly award. On the right side of that photo, you see the oil-modified poly that was applied about 25 years ago that was underneath the layers of acrylics. It was intact and probably was showing only typical wear patterns when the owner’s tenants started with the acrylics. In the photo on the right, you see the room after we removed all the acrylics and made two applications of a waterborne finish. The homeowner was just gobsmacked at the change.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;</image:caption></image:image><image:image><image:loc>https://img.woodfloorbusiness.com/mindful/abmedia/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/10/mp-education-blog-meme.1NjQi4Cj7c.png?auto=format%252Ccompress&amp;q=70</image:loc></image:image></url><url><loc>https://www.woodfloorbusiness.com/news/article/15837157/costofliving-drags-down-consumer-sentiment</loc><news:news><news:publication><news:name>Wood
