Like your enthusiasm for your work.
Thank You!!
Can you come to Boulder, Colorado and refinish my home's wood flloor? I know I could get someone local, but after watching this video, I really want to go out and have a beer with you.

Entertaining video Paul... So how do you apply your coating, outdated/obsolete T-Bar method?
SGC 1 yes, we use a T-bar
Basic Coatings 😀 very good finish
Is there a final cleaning step like tacking after the square head buffer?
Great question.... it’s hard to get absolutely everything on the video! Cleaning is absolutely essential to a great outcome! After we abrade with the square scrubs, we do lots of cleaning!!! We will use an auto scrubber, a couple of final trips across the gym with a tack towel is still a good idea!!
Happy Trails my Freind!
Thank you sir,
Your finish what do you use? Is it a oil base or water base? Spp the pad what grit is it?
Why didn’t you use a red pad?
Thank you.
We like Basic Coatings Street Shoe (2) component Water Based finish. (I should add that the Bona (2) component is also excellent)
The Marion pad is about 200 grit + or -
The red pad is for cleaning, to prep a wood floor it is important to abrade the floor. Put a small scratch in the existing finish.
What specifically is the pad you used with the 175 and where can I purchase them? Thanks.
The pad we use is a 20” 3M SPP (Surface Preparation Pad) They are available at Custodial Supply firms or from companies who sell Hardwood Flooring Supplies.
@@WyomingWoodFloors thanks
You remind me of J.R Ewing 😊
Great video!! Can I do this on an engineered wood floor? If so is there a place that might rent these machines?
This process should work just fine on an engineered floor. Be very careful NOT to use to much water! Just enough to clean the floor. A small walk behind floor scrubber should be available for rent, but if you have a number of these to do…. Purchasing one may be well worth it!
This is the future
Have you tried using an OP machine? Does that help with the swirl marks?
What is an OP machine Billy?
@@WyomingWoodFloors OP stands for oscillating pad. It was invented more for carpet cleaning, but it really seems like it could help. There are a few manufacturers like Trinity and Mytee. Easier than using a traditional buffer, and I'm guessing less likely to leave swirl marks.
@@bigbeaverroad is that like a big random orbital sander?
Square Scrub machines ARE ORBITAL and far better suited to this work than anything from TRS or Mytee or Orbot etc.
@@JoeWheeler Old thread here, but I was under the impression that OPs are not merely orbital. If they suck at hard floors, so be it. I work in a rug plant these days.
If a new gym floor that is 3 years old and NEVER been screened and recoated. Going to be slippery even after cleaning it? Thanks
I think your probably right about that! The recommendation is a new coat of finish every year.
Great video but if you're abrading the floors and putting on more finish, isn't that screening & recoating?
We are abrading with an SPP pad not a screen. We call it the annual maintenance coat. It maybe splitting hairs…… but getting rid of the screens has completely eliminated the “ swirl mark” issue.
@@WyomingWoodFloors Thanks for the response. Very helpful
How do we get in touch with you
You can email me at: paul@westernsportfloors.com
how many coats ? ...
We usually apply 2 coats of Water Based finish.
@@WyomingWoodFloors Does the water based finish eventually need to be stripped or sanded?
@@zafferhead All wood floors will eventually need to be sanded! Generally gyms should be sanded every 8-10 years.
Some last longer, depending on use & maintenance.
What brand of water base do you use. Thank you
This guy likes to hit things and yell randomly...a bit over the top maybe. Also basic degreaser cut 50/50 or TSP with some vinegar and cleaning with baking soda solution has been around for decades seems to be proven out if your in a pinch. You have to tac an extra pass, now go hit some stuff....it fun!!!
