I enjoy your videos; you do a great job with educating those that want to know and do more in their businesses, I have learned a tremendous from you and have obtain the courage to want to sand and stain because of you. Great job!
Sorry you are getting some negative feedback on your videos. I love your videos because of the knowledge you have uploaded I was able to sand a place I bought step by step as you have show in the videos. Drum then orbital with the different grits and like you said spend the time on the sanding and the end product will be fantastic. And sure enough my dads friend who is doing the other renovations for me was amazed at the sanding job. Yet to do the stain (just waiting for the upstairs dirty work to be complete before one final touch up sand then stain) but i am still reviewing yout videos so that my end product will make you proud. Cheers
Can't imagine anyone leaving you hate! I've learned so much invaluable information from your channel. We are doing the floors ourself in the home we recently bought and it has been a long process! We're all done sanding, just working on cleaning, should apply stain this Saturday. We ended up deciding on water based finishes at the last minute, maybe you could make a video discussing that? I was 100% for oil based but had my mind changed, ended up purchasing Bona stain and poly, hoping it all goes on well 🤞
Work quickly with water based stain as it dries fast and is difficult to blend out when it dries. Best to rag it on, and off. Labour intensive. You can use a circular orbital buffer to apply with carpet pad it but is difficult if you've never used this machine before. For applying water based urethane pour it into a paint cup, then pour a line of it on the floor from the cup and work the roller on it after..watch this link here.. th-cam.com/video/Fg-JVC3CDmM/w-d-xo.html Good luck.
@@HardwoodFloorRefinishing101 I was wavering back and for between roller or brushes for the poly water based. Should I return the brushes and get a roller? So much info out there and wasn't sure what advice I should take. I sanded my living room and dining room with a handheld orbital black and decker, what a mistake. I took back 2 rental orbitals because they were broke, I finally watched your video and feel confident using a drum sander. Going today to rent it. Smallest grit is 36, I think that will be ok on my floors with all the unessesary sanding I did already. Thank you!
I'm currently sanding my own house. I have red oak floors, and I started with a 40 grit, then did 60 grit (on both drum and edger). I'm debating about whether to do another pass at 80 grit, or just to swich to the orbital sand like you did in this project, what are your thoughts? I plan on staining the wood a darker color (varathane espresso), and then apply 3 coats of poly. Does that sound like a good plan?
About to do my floors at home, i believe theyre oak. one thing i noticed in your vids is i havent seen or heard you talk about the conditions? do you have to use them before you stain or should i be okay, im going to use dark walnut. thanks for all the informational videos👍🏻👍🏻
Not sure what you mean by conditions? I’m assuming you mean conditioner? I think these big stain companies sit around all day conjuring ideas of how to invent new products to sell to uninformed home owners. Pre stain conditioner is a waste of time, and money. I’ve looked at the end result after applying it on oak and maple compared to not using it and I saw no visible difference. I never use pre stain conditioner.
220 machines are excellent for heavy stock removal when speed is required, and when dealing with multiple layers of paint, or adhesive that may be on the floor. The 110 machines are lighter and don't leave wheel marks as easily when sanding into the higher grits. Also the standard wall receptacles are usually always readily available, where the 220 isn't.
@@HardwoodFloorRefinishing101 I can definitely see why they might be more practical sometimes. I've just never used one myself I've always used 220 machines. You'd honestly probably love a hummel, they're easy to break down for transport they don't leave wheel marks either ;)
Hello Dave. I plan using VARATHANE Classic Oil-Based Penetrating Wood Stains red oak. What product do you recommend for the finishing coats. The hardwood is birch.
Depends on what finish is on floor. I usually start with 60 grit. If the finish is coming off well I'll continue and edger all of it 60. If the abrasive is gumming up too fast, or breaking down and burning the wood (abrasive breaks down and burns floor turning it purple, black) drop it to 36 or 40. In some extreme cases you may need to drop to 24, or even 16 grit but this is rare. Thanks for watching, Good Luck

Amazing videos. I feel like you’re explaining and teaching in a very digestible way! Thank you

Thanks for the wonderful tutorial. It has helped me tackle my own with greater confidence as a weekend warrior.
Glad it helped!

Should I use a roller or a brush, if a roller what is the best kind to use??
@@flowergarden1426 6 or 10 mil, lint free, micro fiber roller

Yes, that's the correct procedure, 80 grit on orbital sander for final pass is good. Thanks for watching.

yes i did mean to say conditioners, okay thanks for fast reply, ill skip this and see how it goes
Just out of curiosity, why do you prefer the 110 machines vs the 220 ones?
220 machines are excellent for heavy stock removal when speed is required, and when dealing with multiple layers of paint, or adhesive that may be on the floor. The 110 machines are lighter and don't leave wheel marks as easily when sanding into the higher grits. Also the standard wall receptacles are usually always readily available, where the 220 isn't.

Fabulon oil based urethane
@@HardwoodFloorRefinishing101 awesome thank you
What grit do you use for edger ?
You used 60 at stairs. What about the rest
Depends on what finish is on floor. I usually start with 60 grit. If the finish is coming off well I'll continue and edger all of it 60. If the abrasive is gumming up too fast, or breaking down and burning the wood (abrasive breaks down and burns floor turning it purple, black) drop it to 36 or 40.

Do you use the wet pads for swiffer ?
