I waited overnight, but I don't think you necessarily need to mix the full bottle at once. You can mix half the bottle with the hardener. I believe the bottle has instructions for what ratio to use when mixing less than the full bottle.

I was trying to avoid buying the special nailgun as well :). Yes, I used a finishing nail gun and tilted it at an angle. It worked well for me and secured the boards well to the subfloor. Just don't forget to wear safety glasses!

You should have told me before the job was done!

Thank you so much! :)

Tip from the non-professionals. You charge too much. 😂

I never understood the saying "flooring specialist charge too much." When you go into the dentist, and they charge you $2000 and only see you for roughly an hour. You don't pay for time, you pay for skill. All in all, it may not be perfect, but nobody is. Kudos for making it to the finish line.

Of course! Best of luck with your floors :)

From my understanding, it would have been over 10K to hire someone, which is well over my budget. So it's DIY or nothing. Unless you want to do this for the same price as my free labor 😉 If not, you can always close your eyes 😂

@@olgabuilds fair enough

What part of this was hard for you to watch?

​@@justwatching918maybe the part where the floor was never actually sanded... The wood grain is still dark brown from the previous stain.. or maybe all of the cross grain marks ALL over the floor...

@@olgabuilds It's all good. Next time just rent the drum sander and not the orbital sander and you're golden. People like to say the drum sander is difficult to intimidate people but I just used it on my floors and it was a breeze. Probably the easiest DIY machine I've used, built by American Sander, rented from home depot.

Thank you!

Я думаю що це залежить від гіпсокартону бо той що вже приходить готовий тріскається а той що змішується і швидко засідає поки що мені добре стоїть. Але хто його знає що буде через часом. Побачим. Якщо буде тріщини, то я поправлю 😊.

Thank you! :)

Yes! But definitely worth it to me :)

Thank you! 😊

It didn't run away, but I appreciate your concern.

@@olgabuilds you don’t see any safety issues with the table being so wobbly?

I hear you. It is a temporary workspace until I could set up my more legitimate one, but I understand what you’re saying about safety and appreciate the concern.

Thank you! :)

I heard this as well, so I used a paint roller and very thin coats to apply it, which made it a lot easier (and the results are not streaky). in some of their videos, they seem to use much more product, which may be harder to work with.

Commenting again in case you missed this

Thank you! 😊

Thank you so much! 🥰

Thanks for the tip 😊.

Дуже дякую! 🥰 Я помаленьку вчуся але ви праві, інструмент взяла в руки не вчора 😂. Доречі, мені ніхто не помагає і не консультує, я пробую сама вчитися, переважно переглядаючи TH-cam 😊.

Дуже дякую! Я рада що вам сподобалось. Буду обережніша з рукавами.

I considered a jig and may build one in the future. In the meantime, I had to be very careful. Thank you for the tip!

Thanks so much! 😊

Thank you! :) More to come!

😂😂 lolll

Thanks so much! <3 I'm so happy you like it!

Thank you so much! I’m so happy you enjoyed it! 😊

Thank you for watching, and thanks for the tip! :)

Thank you so much! Good luck with your project! :)

Thank you! My understanding is that the belt sander gets rid of more material quicker, so if used correctly, it may result in a more perfect result. You can probably get similar results with an orbital sander, but it takes much more sanding to get there. For me, I wanted to remove the bare minimum amount of wood, and I was worried about gouging my floors with a belt sander, so the orbital sander was the right choice for me.

I like how it ended up and don’t see any obvious lines, but if you want a more perfect finish, you can continue to sand deeper into the wood and use a higher final grit before sealing 😊. Happy sanding.

@@olgabuilds 5:25 as an example , looks like a tiger ,,, but as long as your happy with the result , thats what counts.

@@tomthompson7400 I see what you mean, but to me honest, it’s not noticeable in person, especially after I applied all the products to it. Also, I’d rather have a faint zebra than remove more wood 😊. But thank you for letting me know. I’m sure a few more passes with the orbital sander would have bypassed this.

@@olgabuilds its hard to get rid of ,,, but as you say most will never see it ,,, finer grit wouldnt have solved it , a different size sander is the easier answer ,,,

I'm flooring contractor. You tried hard! Saved some money etc.. but after a.season of expansion.and.contraction that newly installed area will not stand the test of time. Using a Brad nailer to fasten those sections down will not hold. You should of rented a.flooring stapler or cleat gun. Best of luck and.fair job!

Of course! I am so happy you found the video helpful! 🥰

Thank you!! 🥰

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you!!

Thank you so much!!

Hi! I went with the base because I wanted narrower-sized planks and preferred the look of smaller bevels. I thought the wider signature planks would look too large in my smaller space. Also, the base was about half the price of the signature and still had an impressive 20 mil wear layer, which is sufficient for my needs. Hope that helps!

Hi Stephanie! I did not use an underlayment pad. The planks have a pad underneath them, and I don’t believe Flooret recommends a separate underlayment. Here’s a link with more details, in case that is helpful :). www.flooret.com/faq/?a=Modin-or-Can-I-add-an-additional-underlayment-under-Modin---id--bjU11dvnQ1ieGfLK8TUElw

Hi! I haven’t had any issues with socks snagging or with discoloration. The seams are all very flush with very little space between the planks. I also haven’t experienced any dirt or debris getting stuck in the embossing. Even though the floors are light, they’re super easy to clean even when they get dirty. Hope that helps! 😊
