Would a (site-applied) solid wood floor coating fall under "clear wood finish" with the limit of 350g/L or a "floor coating" with the limit of 100g/L? Thanks!

SCAQMD Rule 1113, 2004, defines "Floor Coatings" as opaque, so if your wood floor finish is transparent or translucent, it is one of the three types of "Clear Wood Finish" listed in 1113: Varnish, Sanding Sealer, or Lacquer. For Lacquer (which dries without a chemical reaction), the VOC limit is 550g/L, but for the other two types (which dry by chemical reaction), the limit is 350g/L.
