Try not too go too deep with first sanding. Don't know about Maple but you could waste the good layer of wood.
Diamond water base seems good. I've used it , but prefer oil base in general for my house.
my 2 cents.
have fun.

Yeah, I'm leaning towards the oil base stuff too. That Trek finish I linked to earlier is actually a 2-part epoxy stuff that's supposed to be guarenteed for 15 years. But all I can find so far is sellers for commercial sales only. So I'll relent and use the next best stuff I can find.
If this project turns out good, we've been told that the living room & dining room has nice oak flooring under the carpet, which needs to be replaced anyway. Ya gotta love these old homes!
Thanks for the tips!
