I have cypress pine floorboards and was wondering what product I can use in the gaps either black or pine colour. Is there a product specific for the job that is stretchable with climatic changes or will No more gaps caulking do the job ??? :)

we try not to fill gaps between boards as no matter what product is used when the boards move the product fails and falls out.
if you want to take the risk, sika flex will do the job, caulk in colours dries hard and becomes brittle.
David we too have cypress floorboards , best advice I had when polishing was not to fill gaps , you will be surprised the movement summer to winter and most stuff will pop or come out,
If you are coating them the advice I used was a 2 pac base coat and single pac on top , has worked a treat
If you must fill gaps and have not yet sanded the floor , try mixing floor sanding dust and wood glue as this gives the same colour as the floor.
The trouble with life is there's no background music.
