Staining wood floors with a roller is not the done thing. This video is sure to be controversial! I should have explained in the video, I don't recommend this for newbies! If you're a DIYer, you're probably not going to be using a buffing machine to stain your floors either, so I would recommend the good old fashioned rag on and rag off method.

The idea of the roller was brilliant. I tried it and was done in no time. I have stained floors for the first time and as long as you are not a complete novice to painting and home renos you will be fine.

@Gumblina1 2 года назад

Just to update you: we followed your instructions/advice to the 'T' using the rollers from Amazon etc. Wow 👏 we are so happy with the result. Floors look beautiful 😍 Don't think we would have achieved this without your video. Big thank you and happy to say we kept our marital bliss throughout. Thank you again!!!!!

Here in east Texas we have a lot of Cypress trees ...therefore a lot of older homes have Cypress wood floors . I laughed at a "professional" wood finisher when he told me it was impossible to get an even finish on Cypress or pine floors. I get amazingly beautiful non blotchy finish on Pine, Cypress and Cedar. It's required that you sand soft porous woods down to 150 grit and then the major secret is to pre-wash it after vacuuming with paint thinner.(make sure your stain is compatible with mineral spirits or paint thinner. You then have about 1 hour after the wash to complete the staining job . The thinner prevents the more porous areas of the wood that would normally absorb too much stain, from making it darker , and thus a splotchy finish.

What about yellow pine? It's listed as a hardwood I'm trying to decide whether I want to spend endless hours hand sanding furries n such before staining. I've already beat the hell out of it with a pressure washer

@Gumblina1 2 года назад

Thank you!😘 After trawling through countless videos came across yours and is the best 👌 You explained everything clearly and we feel alot more confident in staining and varnishing our floors. We have a 3 storey town house which has pine floor boards - doing all 4 bedrooms and staircase. Big project and need to get it right. Have morrells stain and bona varnish, hubby finishing sanding today - thanks for your advice its been a massive help. Hopefully we won't row which each other as the jobs are pretty defined as shown in your video. Marital DIY harmony ...we hope.

@DeuceGenius Год назад

matters not how u put it on, matters how u wipe it off. just have to brush it rag it or whatever to apply it to the wood.

I just purchased Bona heavy traffic and completed my first coat after hours of sanding. Professionals in your line are definitely worth the money. It's hard work for crying out loud! Great video, thanks.

@Lolatyou332 3 года назад

One reason why a bucket strategy is also better: As you apply laquer, you have a chance of picking up and pushing around dirt/hair on the floor. A bucket will allow you to put a grate at the bottom to allow it to settle to the bottom without picking it back up. I previously used a bona-pad for application though. Allows for a very smooth finish.

Another great floor Ben. I know what you mean with the lap spash marks with the morrells. I've used both roller and pad. as you demo-ed, with the roller you really have to squeegy the excess on the side of the scuttle, then not much diff to the pad. Bona Traffic is the only product in my opinion. i've even used traffic to finish a beech worktop - it's the nuts!!

What did you do to fix the stain? I’ve been house hunting and never seen so many previously beautiful wood floors ruined by pet stains! Such a crime! I searched on how to remove pet stains and there are a number of vids on how to do it. Peroxide based hair bleaching cream is one way. I’ve yet to see a professional do it, though. I’d like to see how they handle it. Ooops! This was meant for the person with a pet stain on their floor!

if you are able to get it in the UK, you should try Loba WS easy Prime sealer and their Viva 1 step self leveling polyurethane. I used them over Duraseal stain, I am in the US. Loba is a German product, I am 70, did 90% of the work, including sanding, by myself, It looks so good. I am extremely happy.

@jonathansmith9705 28 дней назад

I'd prefer those boards be a little lighter or closer to natural, but they look great. A stain choice for me would depend upon the color of the wall / trim as well. I don't want to choose a stain color for my oak floors, but it would prolly hide lots of sins. Have wavy boards and chatter from a botched job. I tried to fix that persons botched job. The hardest part of the job is deciding when enough is enough or when there are diminishing returns. Learning to live with imperfection -- Sigh.

This was awesome thanks so much. Only question I have is do you have to sand between staining and lacquer? Or before the final coat of lacquer? Maybe I missed that part of the explanation but thought that was typical. Getting ready to do this job myself and want to make sure I've got my steps right. Thanks! 🙂

@markanthony3275 4 года назад

Just buy a couple of cans of different colours and mix your own. As long as the stains are compatible to each other , and to the topcoat , all will be well. I'm doing this right now as I try to match the deep reddish brown of a fifty year old Fir door covered with oil based polyurethane. So I'm mixing colonial maple with Antique Walnut.

@jonathansmith9705 28 дней назад

Some suggested that a Matt finish would show more scratches or wear, and that a gloss would too, thusly the suggestion was to use a satin clear finish -- what say you? Thanks!

If the floor feels bouncy and has big gaps usually wood filler will not hold up. It will brake apart in the gaps because the boards have too much movement.

@daniels1293 4 года назад

My main question is do you water pop your floors before staining?

@kombobeats 4 года назад

Mr.roastyonutsack Jr. I think only if you want a darker stain. I know it helps if you want to absorb more stain to fine sand with grit that would leave more pores open before buffing.

@daniels1293 4 года назад

@@kombobeats there's a huge difference between a darker stain and richer stain, water popping won't make it darker it just makes the color less blotchy and have it take richer, the darkness depends on the stain you use, how much of the stain the wood absorbs and takes the stain depends on the process. I think I rolling on stain after water popping would be a disaster because of lap marks like the video mentioned

I'm not here to critique like an armchair contractor. I work for a living too. I just genuinely have a question. Did you have your guy immediately wipe the excess off because you wanted a lighter tone? Or because that particular stain dries quickly? I usually wait 5-7 mins and wipe the excess.

@mikem4162 Год назад

Interesting. I've heard of guys using rollers but I haven't seen it in acti9n. We apply and wipe up with a buffer using carpet pads. Idk if that's a thing in the UK, but it's definitely faster than this. I saw the recommended stain was minwax. Minwax is inexpensive and easy to work with. But it has drying issues. It's anywhere from 10$ to 14$ a quart where i live. Most guys have gone back to it because duraseal, is now 25$ a quart.. duraseal for sure is superior in dry time and colors. Some colors overlap because they are owned by the same company but they are different products. Duraseal is harder to work with. Bona is fairly easy to work with, and drys fast but their colors don't look great 20$ aquart. I don't have any experience with loba stains. Yet anyways. I do recommend buffing the field first, then blending your edges. Use a good 5 or 6 inch brush and keep smaller ones near by for when necessary. Clean them after and keep them in their own bucket. I'm not a fan of chip brushes. Applicators do work well for stair cases though.

US floor guy here. I tend to use DuraSeal QuickDry here(its made by minwax). Have good outcomes and even color with it. Its quick dry high solids stain that can even reactivate and even out or disappear stain and drops or splatter thats been on the floor for even up to 2 hours(though i try not to let that happen). It cool seeing products used in other countries. We use a lambswool to apply it and then buff or rag it off after applied. Am curious to try Duraseal with a roller though after seeing this. I learned applying finish with a flat pad and T bar. Am wondering if anyone knows if roller is faster(or slower) as well as how the final products compare with the waterbased finishes?
