TT350 Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 (edited) Hello. Been restoring the hardwood floor all last week. 2 coats of stain and 4 coats of varnish and I'm done. Time consuming. A day between each coat of stain and 4 hours between each coat of varnish and sanding down with 1200 grit in between coats of varnish. It was terrible before. Full of scratches marks and uneven colour. Just sharing it Edited May 26, 2016 by TT350 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TT350 Posted May 26, 2016 Author Share Posted May 26, 2016 Wish we had real wood floors, ...laminate, bl**dy laminate as far as the eye can see. I've always had laminate too. Always warp and crack with expand and contract. Luckily with older houses you usually get wood floors. I'm putting laminate in my games room (spare bedroom) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I fitted it throughout my new house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep I'm not a fan either but it came with the house. Pretty much the whole of the downstairs is covered in laminate and tbh not very well done either imo. Just do not have the time or money to change it at the moment so it's going to be like that for quite a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
