Could you explain how water pathways work? I would like to know if this method would work for my situation.

Did you stain the floors and strip down teh original finish? I found some local gym flooring that I woudl like to use in my house and sand down and stain a darker shade. It is a Maple and has the markings on it still. I think would look great!
