Default Resurfacing pine floors

On 5/15/2009 6:50 AM Red Green spake thus:

Prior to putting down the first coat of poly I vacuumed EVERYTHING in the
room - walls, doorframes, tops of molding around windows and doors and of
course the floors - EVERYTHING. Waited some hours for the dust to settle.
Wipe down floor with paint thinner and a rag. Can of poly recommended
that one. Let that dry a bit then a onceover with a tack cloth. Tack
cloth between coats as well. Thinner too I think. Can't recall.


Good point the in addition to vacuuming up the dust, you need to let
the now-airborne dust settle, then either vacuum again or use a tack
cloth. Otherwise I *guarantee* unwanted stuff embedded in your nice new
coat of varnish.
