My parents had someone fill in the gaps in their wood floors with wood filler. It lasted about a year and then it all popped out. I was looking at epoxy and wondering if that was a better option for adhesion?
bought a home from 1762 with gorgeous original floors but in some cases they have large gaps in between (as much as 1/4" at worst spots) -- which of the products above would be most effective?
Same here, we have houses from 1890, 1920, 1922, 1950s and 1960s with hardwood and pinewood tongue and groove flooring and a lot of gaps between the tongue and groove from sanding, shifting and/or drying. I hope we get some good advice on the best way to go with huge gaps.
I have two-inch thick poplar wood floors that have some gaps up to half-inch would the Woodwise powder work best would it hold up to expanding and contracting
When using the fexible caulk the first time it is after the floor is finished. For a refinish can you put a water based wood floor finish over the caulk that is still in place?
Thank you for this!! I installed reclaimed red oak, and I have a fair amount of gaps. They aren't visible unless you are looking close, but of course I notice them. 😑
Thank you for the video. Would any of the trowel applied wood filler products be suitable for a floor that is already finished and polished? My floor was sand and polished a few years ago but the gaps were never filled and the floor allows so much draught in. I have dried some areas with a no more gaps sealant tube and it takes FORVER. I was hoping a water based product might apply and clean up easy?
This is my question too. I have the woodwise pre- finish but it isn't suitable for the whole floor. I'm looking for a water-based trowel fill product for already finished floors.
I’m about to sand and stain my parkay floors for a 4th time and I want to change the stain from dark cherry(currently) to gray (like the laminate floor color). I have several chips small holes that I need to fill. Can I use the grey cement filler that is used for outside cement blocks cracks for these holes given that the color grey will match?
Wood dust from sanding the floor plus a can of 'Sanding Sealer' (found at any of the big box stores) mixed together tends to work much better than glue...
😂😂😂😂LOVE it just learn to love the holes!! After 30 videos not one video on any of these questions.... SOMEONE NEEDS TO DO A VIDEO, GIVE US ALL THE OLE TIPS, TRICKS, SIMPLE, LAYING AROUND THE HOUSE, FARMSTEAD STUFF!!!😂😂
I don’t know. I bought Bona wood filler, tested my floors to make sure I know the species. The filler did not take the stain well, it wasn’t even close

What would you suggest for Brazilian Teak? The colors vary so much that it’s hard to find what will work well.
TimberMate Teak or LePage Teak filler

I need to know this answer too. Have a 150 year old house and started ripping up the carpets
I’d love if Greenpointe Wood Floor Supply would answer this.

nice. thanks. I live on the west side of Portland maybe I'll make the drive over there when stain my wood floors
I have 2 - half inch gaps in my hard wood floor. Kind of in the middle of the floor space. What do you recommend i use to fill these gaps?

Yes usually after the floor is finished. On a refinish you could re-caulk

thanks!! super informative.
What if your floor is already polished? What can be done to fill gaps?
What about sanding dust and sanding sealer
now i know, great video
Thank you
Thank you very much Craig, very informative! Wish me luck!
Bermudashortz how did it turn out?
@@EricInTampaAcoustic loved it! The floor....not so much.
If there's a sizable hole (1" x 1/4") in a stained flooring, is wood filler or wood putty suggested?
Great explanation from an expert, 🙏 thank you.

Did you find anything?
In the end, I installed under floor insulation. Which also blocked airflow passing through the gaps.
what about jute rope?

Professionals don't use sanding dust and wood glue...
Just saw a "This Old House" episode where they suggest sanding dust and wood glue...lol.
"Only time a pro will use fines to fill gaps is if they want to match the wood color better" Hmmmm I'm scratching my head here.
Don't use wood filler either it just cracks up and falls out within a year
What could I use on a floor that has already been polished but have many gaps between boards

to bad only floor guys can buy that stuff, cant buy it at box stores.
go to the flooring supply shops. they will make cash sales most of the time.
Yeah-- tried going to a to the trade store but the didn’t have it. 😖
amazon
Woodpro chain
No mention about wood shims and glue? All these products you list fail after less than a decade.
No coments
Thank you.
