This is my house & I want to learn as I do mostly remodeling. Thought it best to start here.
Instead of asking a lot of questions, does this sound correct? Working with 100 yr pine and staining it walnut.
EZ8- sand 36, 60, 80
Edger- sand 36, 60, 80 use edger same grit at same time as belt.
Trowel floor- timbermate (suggest products) hardwood is nailed to joist, over crawl. I was worried about srink & expanding. Right now there is a lot of air flow underfloor.
Sand-100
Vac, tack, tack. (What best to tack with)
Should I pop the floor? Pine, walnut oil stain
Stain- work about 5' section at a time & wipe up. (can I do this solo) would like to use Lowes cc. Recommend stain -minwax, Cabot, Rust-oleum.
Next day- oil poly gloss
Next day- (should I sand between coats of poly) 220? Buffer pad? Can I hand sand?
Gloss poly
Next day-Satin poly.
Have a cup of Joe. (Maybe I should start with a cup)
