Thank you for the video. That floor pops.
Thanks for watching
As a hardwood flooring professional, if I turned in a job like this to a customer I would not get paid. But if you like it…
That's because you choose to walk away without getting paid.
@@strjourneys7919you’re right, I wouldn’t accept payment for this. I wouldn’t put my name on it at all. Reputation is everything
@@chrishendrix9812 Think you're being abit unfair and arrogant here, but hey "reputation is everything" unless you're being a cock online
So u finished with an orbital sander? Is this needed always?
What if you go against the grain for the first run, then go with the grain the second run?
Looks good. I thought you would have stained it. Not necessary I guess unless you want to change the color.
Looks great! Type of belt sander used? You mentioned you used 10 and 10 of each grit, for the room only? Thanks !!
Nice
i've got a relatively small room with some really rough flooring but it's on a 4th floor walkup and i'm super tempted to use my belt sander. but if i do, i think i better use an aluminum profile to keep myself level. I guess if i take my time and don't dig holes it should be alright. lucky i have knee pads.
Let us know how it turns out!
Now if I could just find a video showing how to do this with five animals lurking about the house. LOL. My floors need some love but two rooms I want to do don't have doors to keep the cats out - you know, the creatures that are absolutely invisible in the far corners of the house till you paint or varnish and then BAM, there they are.
as soon as i tested my belt sander, cats were GONE. Immediately left the entire floor..
Beautiful !! How long did it take the floors to dry with the oil base and how many coats did you apply?
I put on two coats. Each coat takes around a day to dry, weather dependant.
Wow. That turned out super nice. Thanks for the tips.
Hey thanks, glad this helped!
What size belt sander did you use? Turned out great
Thanks! It was a 3x21.
thanks! great video :) which speed of belt sander to use?
I had the belt sander on its fastest speed when I refinished this floor.
I bought a belt sander to refinish. In my opinion the 1/4 sheet palm sander worked better. It was a 60$ craftsman I believe.
Nice! Thanks for sharing your experience!
Thanks for the video!
What the difference between orbit sander and random orbit sander? And what kind did you use? I'm going to buy one :)
Random orbit sanders produce a better finish than regular orbit sanders, which leave circular patterns in the wood.
I used a random orbit sander for sanding the corners where the belt sander could not reach.
@@MooseMultimedia Thank you so much! It's really helpful, come back and update when we get ours floor done😊
How did you remove all the adhesive off the floors?
These floors only had old varnish on them, and the belt sander removed all of that.
Do you need to put a clear coat on after?
Yes, the floor will need to be sealed afterwards otherwise it will quickly stain. Whatever sealant you go with also brings out the color in the wood.
How long did it take to sand a 10' x 10' section? What grit did you use on first pass? Is 36 grit too coarse?
A square that size takes about an hour. If you keep putting on fresh belts the job goes faster. 36 grit for the first pass is good: it will eat the old finish fast, but it will leave some rough texture to sand out with finer grits. I used 50 and 120 for this floor. Good luck!
You are sure that to sand a square 10'x10' takes about an hours ?
The speed of sanding depends on how much old finish is on the floor, the type of finish, the species of wood, and how scratched and dented the wood is. The floor in this video did take an hour per 10x10 square.
@@MooseMultimedia 😫
How many belts did you go thru? And what type of roller did you use to apply the polyurethane?
I went though about 10 belts of each grit. I used a regular paint roller, and I used oil based varnish for this floor. If you use water based polyurethane, I suggest looking up other tutorials for the best form of application in your case, since it tends to get full of bubbles using regular rolling techniques.
@@MooseMultimedia thanks...I'll be using a stain and oil based poly. What size roller do you recommend for the poly? And how do you recommend I apply the stain? Thanks again
@@josepe2448 I used a standard sized paint roller for the floor, the same size people use for rolling paint onto walls. This video explains staining far better than I could in writing, and is one of the methods I often use: th-cam.com/video/MtqZIB6R2EE/w-d-xo.html
@MooseMultimedia hi I understand that but there are different sizes meaning the thickness of the roller. Some rollers are meant for smooth surfaces, the slightly thicker ones are for walls that are a little rougher etc.
@@josepe2448 I honestly don't worry too much about the nap. If you use water based paints the heavier nap tends to give the paint more of a textured look because it dries fast, thereby preserving the texture. Oil based dries slow and has a chance to level out before it dries. The main concern with using a heavy nap and oil paint is that the roller will lay it on thick if you don't spread it around enough, which can cause a wrinkled effect as it dries. If you want to lean on the side of safety, go for a light nap. I would suggest experimenting on a scrap piece of wood before attempting the floor so that you get the desired look.
Can you use a belt sander on parquet floors? Thank you
Yes you can, but you might want to use an orbital sander afterward to get the belt scratches out. Always test your methods on a scrap piece before committing to your project.
great vid.. how about if i have parquet floor? what direction is the sanding/
If you have parquet, I would suggest a random orbital sander. Try it in a closet first to see how it looks.
@@MooseMultimedia thanks. i wanted a natural finish . would you recommend just a matte top coat to keep its original natural color?
@@edisonmandap6185 If you use oil varnish the wood color will darken toward a golden color. If you use water based clear coat the color will change less. Matte or gloss will look equally good depending on your tastes. I would test it out on a scrap piece first so you are sure of the results.
I just started a bedroom about 12x12. My finish must be much thicker than yours lol
Thick finishes can be difficult. Use a coarse grit and replace the belt often and it will go faster.
Will one quart of stain would be enough for medium room ? Did u use a gallon or a quart for this room ?
The can will say how many square feet it is good for. The first coat will suck up more finish than subsequent coats. I always buy more than I need so I don't run out. I think I used 2 gallons for around 600 square feet.
It looks good, but they rent floor Sanders that would make the sanding a 40 minute job besides the very edges of the floor. I mean this would definitely work, but it's worth just renting the big ones.
👍👏🐂
Thank you
why are you wearing a hardhat in a house? No way that will accept stain and not show your sanding patterns.
It’s refinishing not completely refurbing. Perfectly acceptable method of renewing tires looking floor
@@Jontyfarmer No it's not, this is absolutely the wrong way to refinish a floor. It will look like a 5 year old did it when you're all said and done.
@@13612 Exaggerating much?
@@Jontyfarmer You honestly have no clue how to sand a floor proper for refinishing or you wouldn't stand behind this. What a joke. Post your work or carry your ass.
@@13612 The finished floor looked great.... I loved the older look that he achieved, dark patches & all.... it all comes down to personal taste.
Aye that not right bruv floor looked silly innit?
😂 you're American typing like you're from the UK. How lame can you be. And you have the nerve to criticize this mans work.
My eyes...Horrible, plz never do it again.
Thanks for the critique. I’ll be doing this a few more times.
really? it s not that bad.
How about appreciating the fact that he did the job, that he improved it immensely, and that HE is happy with it.
I'm sure i could find fault with everything you do too.
Looks great! Thank you for the video
