Love those knee pads, so comfortable an they stay where you put them Was a little worried about washing them in the washing machine because of the leather, but you answered that question, /thanks
I don’t know. I bought Bona wood filler, tested my floors to make sure I know the species. The filler did not take the stain well, it wasn’t even close
Important point is that the underlying layers are laid in alternate criss-cross pattern so that the wood will now expand in any one direction the way solid hardwood can. It is essentially a hardwood layer on top of plywood -- which is also build using the criss-cross pattern to give it strength and stability.
Thumbs down for thinking this was a complete video whatsoever. Did you by chance want to perform the mix and illustrate how to use that small, ridiculous bottle after the fact?
It does actually because 1 mm or 2mm thickness top layer it’s just veneer shaved off a tree in a continuous sheet. Where anything from 3mm it’s been sawn off a tree trunk . And yes the base is very important to be of plywood because it gives its structure and stability in the environment ie it shouldn’t be bowing in high humidity
I got mine from a company called Luxury Flooring and Furnishings. They have the click type in engineered wood. The one I got was Painswick Amber Engineered Oak (herringbone pattern). Hope this helps. If you talk to their live chat they can give you a nice additional discount
Thank you! You explained what the lever was for as the rental people had no idea on how to use it. I had watched videos on what grit to use and thank goodness because the lady at the rental place tried to give me a 20 grit.. i looked at her like omg uh? I said to her "we are not tearing the floor up we are refinishing the floor lol omg she had no idea on what to give me so i explained to her what i needed and with time she found what i was looking for.. It has taken several hours to do our living room floor but we are done and it looks great! Thanks again for the awesome video!
I just bought the rs-16dc from home depot and they didnt include pad driver. Can i use any 16 inch pad driver with a 16 inch pad with the dust shrouuf? Would a 17 inch pad fit?
This was amazingly helpful! I have a suuuuper old house and and needing to sand the floors so I can install some new flooring and I was terrified 😅 This clearly explained how to use it and why. Thank you!!!
Wood dust from sanding the floor plus a can of 'Sanding Sealer' (found at any of the big box stores) mixed together tends to work much better than glue...
Thank you for this!! I installed reclaimed red oak, and I have a fair amount of gaps. They aren't visible unless you are looking close, but of course I notice them. 😑
Here in Canada most of the larger manufacturers have dropped the Baltic Birch ply for the softwood core w/ backer board due to greater stability in the winters.
My parents had someone fill in the gaps in their wood floors with wood filler. It lasted about a year and then it all popped out. I was looking at epoxy and wondering if that was a better option for adhesion?
I think a year for a finish that completely comes back to life is a good deal. I've had professionally refinished floors with stain and Poly that were completely scuffed in 6 months with normal wear and tear. Totally not worth the exorbitant price tag. I use this on kitchen counters that get a ton of wear and tear and it's fantastic.
Great video! Something that would be helpful would be to explain how you know if you need to replace the screen. Same with drum and edge sanders. Thanks.
