How To Sand & Refinish Walnut Floor - Fabulon Semigloss Urethane - Narrated (Ep#47) 

Effect is astonishing :)

New sub, very informative video thank you

I am so glad I found your videos, the RU-vid algorithm worked this time! My husband and I recently bought our first home, it's 83 years old with the original oak floors. They look like they've never been refinished, so we are doing them outselves before moving in. I found your channel after finishing the edge sanding (did that first). We edge sanded 36, 60, 80, 100, and 120, and I just watched a video of yours saying not to go too high on the edge sanding grit due to burning. I definitely experienced that with my 120 grit edging, had to buff it away with a palm sander after! Couple of questions for clarification: 1. Is there any benefit to drum sanding past 80 grit? I had planned to do the same progression, 36, 60, 80, 100, 120, but noticed you stop at 80. 2. Should I screen sand between stain and the first coat of poly, or just between each coat of poly? Also, what do you think about a random orbital sander for screening? Like the Clarke EZ-SAND? We will likely be staining, and I know you said the OBS sander might be too aggressive for screening over stained floors, but I have >1500 square feet to do, so wanted to avoid doing it by hand. 3. Any tips for sanding stairs? They're kicking my butt and are the biggest road block in the process so far! 😩 4. One section of the floor has fairly sizeable gaps, likely due to moisture exposure. Would you simply recommend wood filler? Don't want it to look bad once stained. 5. What product(s) do you recommend for cleaning hardwood floors? Seems to be some disagreement in the industry regarding which products are ideal for hardwood. Thanks again for your videos, they are so thorough and helpful!

I am considering Fabulon super gloss on red oak (stained Minwax Special walnut). Would you suggest 2 coats of Fabulon or 3? My quote only includes 2, and they said 2 coats is all they’ve ever done. Thanks!

Hello Sir, I hope you are doing good, thank you for sharing your knowledge, there are a lot of videos out there but you can definitely tell who really know his thing. I have watched some of your other videos and I am going to refinish this floor I am doing exactly following your steps. My question is, do you sand after your first druming? Or you just go over with the second drumming (80) ? I know you have mentioned that you sand between the buffering sandings but I am not sure If I haven't heard that you also sand between the drummings. Thank you very much in advance.

How about some info on Maple floors! I have newer maple floors that are to light and I would like to get them refinished but no one will touch them!!!! do I have any options to redo them myself to darken them up?
