Thread: Restore Old Floor Boards - with a twist...

Hey Jags i remember you were having an issue with your slab good to hear your getting it sorted!! thats the Bona traffic "invisible protection" on there (invisible protection really is quite invisible, the timber is a tiny tiny bit darker than when we finnished sanding but that was due to the initial primer coat of Bona Prime) - its matt - so is quite flat looking really, perhaps the sattin could be a little nicer - Matt was my choice because it should hide scuff marks a little better and with young kids and 2 dogs (dogs havent been allowed on it as yet...) we felt that was important for us... very happy with it though it looks pretty much like the picture i had in my head...

As much as it was hard work larry i did still enjoy it, and I can easily see why people would be happy doing it as a trade, its a lot of work but as you say you're really creating a "wow" factor for clients so it would be quite rewarding!

I just wish the hire equip was a bit better god it was a pain in the butt my wife did a lot of the drum sanding the sander had a lever to lower the drum, problem was it lowered it so only 1 edge of the drum was on the floor properly so we had to hold the lever down a little further all the time to get more drum on the floor and flatter... pain in the butt that was!!

Jags make sure you post some pics when your done
