hardwood floor finishing question(s)
Greetings,
I have an oak hardwood floor which I sanded with 24 grit paper ONLY. The idea was that I knew the floor was going to take a lot of abuse and I wanted to give it a look which could withstand this abuse. The trouble came when I went to put down polyurethane. The lambs wool applicator hung on the flooring and pulled out applicator fibers. I was able to solve this problem by applying a thicker layer of polyurethane which lubricated the applicator. I ended up using 4.5 gallons for only 750 ft^2 of flooring (first coat). 4.5 gallons should coat 2250 ft^2 of flooring. I just finished the application about two hours ago. Since I applied this coat so heavily am I likely going to have any problems? If so what is the best thing I can do to fix the problems which I just created? I am also afraid that it may be uneven since it was so heavy. What applicator should I have used if not lambs wool for what I was trying to accomplish? How many hours should I wait for the next coat if I don't want to sand (normally I would wait 16 or so)? Thank you for your time, William Deans |
