    Once the stain has thoroughly dried, a clear protective sealer is applied to the floor. The contractor recommends a semi-gloss finish for a balanced look, providing some shine without being high maintenance. A wide applicator, possibly a T-bar or lamb's wool applicator, is used to spread the sealer evenly across the floor. Multiple coats are typically applied, allowing adequate drying time between each coat, to build up durability and achieve the desired sheen.
