Lounge and hallway floorboard sand and seal

[hermes]

 

Hi Brains Trust, 

I am wanting to sand, polish and seal the living room and hallway, whereby there is a mix of Baltic pine and Cyprus floorboards of differing shades. Some areas have a darker shade for the perimeter.  

I am considering using Japan Black for the stain once sanded and prior to polyurethane seal.

will the Japan black completely cover the mismatch of shades of timber? For reference, I am keen on this product :

Also, there appears to be some water marks/stain in the hallway region outside the bathroom affecting the timber. Does this have any bearing on the ability to hold the planned new stain? A view of the floorboards from under the house suggests there are different types of timber used, though this is seen only in areas that I am not planning to paint.

Thank you in advance for your advice 🙏

Thank you redracer01.

There were so many different ones to buy from BW. I ended up buying a few to mix and match, though the ones I selected were ones you could nail in, then stick over to cover the bottom of chair legs etc.

Btw, anyone who is planning to do something similar with the stain, the polyurethane vapor is something else. Need full PPE!
