    Gorgeous floors and craftsmanship. Im fixing to refinish the floors in a few weeks so I'm trying to learn as many tips and tricks as i can before then to make the process as smooth as possible 🥰

    • @Ermes12FloorSander

      yes, then realize that to start you need for the orbital eger you need disk 36 - for the first process for the second process disk 50. and for the final process disk 80 with Festool. this is valid for the corner this only for eger with disc 36 and 50 instead disc 80 is used for the final hand on the corners with Festool. instead for the hummel you will need a 36 belt for the first coat then a 50 belt for the second coat. and for the last procedure belt 100 . 👷‍♂️

    • @Ermes12FloorSander
      @Ermes12FloorSander  Рік тому +1

      if, however, your floor is made of pine you will have to do the first processing not with disc 36 but with disc 24 with eger. even with hummel 24 tape only for the first procedure.

      the filler is done in two steps the first hand is done after you do the sanding with belt 36 if the floor is oak and instead if it is pine with belt 24 then the second is done before you do the final hand with belt 100

    I've not been able to find the liquid you poured into the sawdust. I'm restoring a 1905 rock-faced block home, which was oak floors. I've done the floor sander from 24grit to 100grit. I am to the point of needing to purchase the filler, but can't seem to locate what people are actually using. Could you give me the same of what you're using? I know you have "Jenkins" listed, but when I Google that, it doesn't NOT come up with what you're using.

    This would only help very fine gaps. There are no gaps in the floor it even looks like laminate, I have 1904 boards with massive gaps that amount of sandy crap would make a right mess and would proberbly turn dusty and come up with the hoovering. Caulking sealant and wood filler putty are my go to none of this mixing stuff myself, I do use a bit of sawdust out of my sander in big holes to help me use less filler though.

      For how long does the saw dust mixed with the joint filler needs to dry? After the drying process did you sand it again? If yes what grit you suggest.
      I guess after all of that you stain the floor and than apply a primer maybe? After the primer you can apply the varnish isn't it?
      Thanks again for your replies 😊

    • @Ermes12FloorSander
      @Ermes12FloorSander  8 місяців тому

      and dry the file for 30 minutes. maybe the filer proceeded with 100 reps. base repeats 100 if you are not pine wood. Make a 150 disc bather. And if the floor is pine, there is no need for a bather. after we make these special arrangements. and after the stain dries, we apply varnish.
      thanks for the comment.👷‍♂️

    • @Ermes12FloorSander

      even after we have given the first coat of varnish after it has dried well. if the floor is pine, we give it a hand sand with paper 120. if it is an oak floor, we must give it 2 hands of varnish after making a buffer disc 150. do not sand the floor, it will take 3 coats of varnish.

      @@Ermes12FloorSander The beginning especially is catastrophic, we don't know what it represents, you know, making a video without post-production editing is really very difficult. However, since cinema existed, the camera has remained fixed, it is the subjects that move everywhere, in cinema as in video. If we can be lenient because we are not all professionals, we must not forget that even an amateur document must obey a few rules. Those who view an amateur video are the same audience as in the cinema or television.
