If I were doing your project, I'd use the Mapei Ultra Flex 2. That's what I used for my kitchen back splash and the bathroom counter/backsplash. For the bathroom grout, I used half Mapei Keracolor sanded grout and half the Ultra Flex. It's tough as nails. Just yesterday I was scrubbing the chrome and counter w/a brush and Bartender's Friend - a non-abrasive cleanser I use in the kitchen -scrubging around the sink area vigorously too. As I've said many times, this stuff (Mapei) is tough.

Thanks slowmedown, I just knew you'd send a response! as I also figured that is what you would suggest I use, and ever since you told me about the mapei and Ultra Flex I purchased it but haven't had much of a chance to use it. I will certainly use it on this project. I used it on one poject and was happy with it, but have not had long term test on it yet. But I know you believe in it's performance. I just wasn't sure about on wood. Thanks again!
