I need to refinish a hall that has Oak flooring.  (I was able to remove the
glued down vinyl that was put on top of the Oak with help of a heat gun and
a scraper.)

I have sanded the floor and went to buy the finish.  Two choices where on
the shelve.  Polyurethane, both types water and oil based and Shellac.
The Polys advertise fast drying but stipulate to wait 24-48 hours before
regular use.  The Shellac seems to have a 4 hour dry time.

The house was built in the early 50's and I am unsure what they originally
used.  Any Ideas?

Shellac is not durable.
