Fransis,

This is what I did for an oak floor that was about 12' x 15'. It had
areas where the finish was entirely worn off plus it had some scratches;

Gave it a good scrubbing with Spic-N-Span.
Went over the entire floor with a large 3M pad. This was to get of all
the grime, dirt, and general corruption the cleaning didn't get.
Wiped the floor with paint thinner.
Put small dabs of artist's Raw Sienna oil paint straight from the tube
onto a rag with some paint thinner in it and "stained' the bare spots
and scratches.
Let it dry for a couple days and put a coat of poly on it. My wife was
very pleased.

Lucky for me, Raw Sienna was a perfect match, but if it hadn't been I
would have mixed other oil colors with it on a piece of aluminum foil
and then picked it up with my rag to apply it.

Hi all, I just begin to read your group, I do like to work on wood
project, well will love to start a wood project, this summer I should
remove paint of some old furniture, so I'l need an orbital sander ...

Anyway, my true question is, we just buy our first house, I have a
wood floor in it, which was burn by the sun in the kitchen. I don't
know how you call that in english, but the floor is made with little
strip of wood, maybe a little less then 5 inch long and the patern is
a square like patern. SO I will like to put something on the floor
that will give him is life back, I don't want to sand it. I heard of
bee wax, so will a product do a good job or will I only get a 5 day
finish unless I sand and varnish it?

THank you.
