@@86753091974 he means that he went around the edges, probably with a natural bristle brush if it is oil based poly and synthetic if water based, to "cut" the edges. This is a term commonly used in painting to mean the same thing which is when you use a brush or similar tool to get the very edges of whatever youre painting so you don't need to use the roller to go all the way to the edge which would require taping off the perimeter so it doesn't get poly on it (in all actuality it shouldn't matter because typically you would remove any baseboard, then apply poly, then put baseboard back on which would cover any poly that accidentally got on lower couple inches of wall anyway)

I did this with water based polyurethane and I didn't run into any bubble problems whatsoever. However, when I dipped the roller into the poly and fully submerged it, a few drops fell off as I moved the roller to the area I was working on. What happened is the outer ring of the drops dried almost instantly. After I got done rolling the floor and it dried I saw a bunch of tiny rings in the finish where the drops had originally fallen. Only way to prevent this is to have a towel between your bucket of poly and application area that will catch the drips. Almost becomes a 2 man job with water based because it dries so fast.

Hi Jay19, For water base, the best thing to do is to put straight out of the bottle. The handle will not be dripping with finish. You will avoid slings and drips off the handle. Eliminate all air movement, hot spots ,low room temperature and coat in small sections, avoid getting too far ahead with the edges. Another tip, roll the edges first, cut in and then go over with the roller again to keep the edges wet.

Since I purchased my home 20 years ago, this is the first time I am doing this, I have been delaying it because emptying the home is a total pain in the arse, specially having to move everything by myself without any help. I have been told lately that waterborne finish is not near as durable as "old school" solvent based stuff, so I am a bit concerned... the contractor said he is aplying three coats. I live alone, no kids and no pets, so the floors are not going to suffer a harsh life. What do you guys think? Thanks.

hello, i applied my 1st coat of poly using a lambswool applicator. it was a disaster. i hand buffed everything down with 220 grit sandpaper and rolled the poly using 3/8" nap purdy ulta finish microfiber roller. Finish came out really good, beside minor imperfections. Again i sanded everything down with 220 and reapplied a 3rd coat with a new purdy ultra finish microfiber roller. Finish came out better than coat number 2. My last coat #4, i decided to use a new roller brand 1/4" home depot premium smooth finish roller, because I read somewhere that 1/4" would give me glass like finish. Big disaster again, many pebble like bubbles. I just finished hand sanding everything again with the 220. But i still see the pebble like bubbles; they have been flattened but I still see them. Question, Will is see these imperfections when I add the last (hopefully) #5 coat? This my materials: Varathane Clear Gloss 350 VOC Oil-Based Floor Finish Polyurethane high traffic fast drying formula ( i added 6.4 ounces mineral spirits/gallon) pole sander hand sander purdy ultra finish roller (loews) Incidentally, MFG does not recommend thinning or rolling for that matter. I am just a homeowner, I never refinished my floors before so this is a first/and maybe last time i did this... Any help would be much appreciated. Joe
@Gandswoodfloorslynn3 жыл бұрын
Hi Joseph, If, the mfg. does not recommend rolling their product. That indicates that it has poor leveling agent. To combat this, using a thin nap roller and pouring a large puddle of finish onto the floor helps. Arroworthy 1/4" microfiber roller is ideal. A fairly heavy coverage needs to be applied to avoid roller marks, such as orange peel effect. Otherwise, you will need to apply a thin coat using a lambswool. Regarding your bubbles, You need to sand the existing bubbles flat. Remnance will show through the next coating. You can use a hand held orbital with 220 grit. Afterwards, clean, clean, clean. Vacuum and tack until no dust transfers onto your hand when touched. Clean off dust from your clothes and footwear. Clean off baseboards, doors and windows. Clean adjacent areas, such as halls and rooms. Eliminate moving air, moving air will transfer dust and particles onto the finish. The bubbles are from dust particles, not the finish. Cleaning will be key to getting a bubble free result.

@Al Rutherford so long story short....I tried actual poly on one floor with the dumb wool applicator. Looks like crap still but put an area rug over it. Tadaa, done. But there is a product called rejuvenate that comes with 3 pads, the wand and pad head. The product itself is sold alone. I used that on a different floor after thoroughly cleaning and performing a lighting sanding by hand in the direcrion of the grain and the floor looks damn door. No over lap marks, no crap stuck in the finish, etc. I would recommend that product for finishing a wood floor. It works on other surfaces, but they sell different solutions for different flooring materials. It is not a substitute for a full deep sanding that gets down to fresh wood material with a fresh finish with stain/poly, but it's damn decent for the money. 50 bucks to refinish an entire floor plus my labor.

Blue candy stripe microfiber roller. Use Arroworthy 1/4" nap microfiber roller, best value compared to Loba, Bona and Pallmann's roller. Available in 9, 14 and 18" lengths, can be used for both oil and water base finishes. I use the 14" for easy maneuvering and speed. 9" roller takes too long to apply finish and is heavy on one side due to the handle. 18" roller can miss spots if, the floor is not perfectly flat. 14" roller is perfect. It's inexpensive, I use new rollers for every coat to prevent cross contamination. Especially, for 2 part water base finishes.

Are you using water base polly or solvent based polly? Do you ever have issues with bubbles with either?
@Gandswoodfloorslynn4 жыл бұрын
If, you're having bubbles with either. The main cause will be prep work: sanding and cleaning. Sanding: make your final cut at 120 grit. A smooth surface finish will make vacuuming more efficient and help your finish level and smooth out. Tampico Brush: Use a tampico brush to loosen dust from the raw wood fibers prior to vacuuming and tacking. Fine dust trapped in the fibers will create bubbles in the finish.

If, your finish is still good and you are dealing with a dull shine. You will need to strip the cleaning residue build up. Use a "concentrated" grade hardwood floor cleaner to bring back the original shine. It is much stronger, will strip cleaning residue build up - which is causing it to dull, ph neutral, won't streak or dull compared to wood floor cleaners available for daily spruce ups. Bona makes one, check the label for "concentrate". www.bona.com/en-US/Bona-Professional/Products/Floor-Care/Cleaners1/Bona-Pro-Series-Hardwood-Floor-Cleaner-Concentrate/ If, recoating is needed. You will need to do a deep clean to remove cleaning residue and waxes, buff (abrade with 220 grit sandpaper), apply a bond enhancer and then apply a durable water base finish to go over the prefinished bamboo flooring.
@vitbing4 жыл бұрын
what is the secret to keep tiny bubbles from the roller ? thank you
@Gandswoodfloorslynn4 жыл бұрын
There are several factors that needs to be considered to avoid bubbles. You need a clean and flat floor. This helps the finish to level and pop the tiny bubbles. A clean flat floor will start with your sanding. Sand the floor using manufacturer's or NWFA sanding guidelines. Make sure there are no dish outs, deep scratches. gouges or rough areas. These imperfections will trap dust in the wood fibers, making it difficult to remove and clean. It also, makes it way into your applicators and back onto the floor in clumps of bubbles. Having a flat floor will make it easy to clean in-between coatings. Reducing your chances of bubbles. A tool you can add to your artillery of cleaning tools is a tampico brush (disc) for your buffer. Using a tampico brush prior to vacuuming the raw wood will help remove any fine dust in the wood fibers. So if, you have any of the imperfections mentioned above. This tool will clean up in those hard to reach areas. You would use this tool only once during the sanding process. And that is prior to vacuuming. Do not use this tool in-between coats. It will slick up the floor finish and close up the abrasion. Repeatedly using a old applicator will also cause bubbles. Old applicators will collect debris and contaminants from previous coatings and transfer it to your current one. Replacing it with new clean applicators will reduce the chances of bubbles. For oil base, I would replace it after 5000 sf. of coating. Sooner if, it yields signs of bad results. For water base, i use a new roller for every coat. This helps avoid cross contamination with sealers, one components, two components and different hardeners. You cannot re-catalize a old finish. If, you have remnants of old finish in the applicators. It will cause issues, including bubbles.

Water base is done backwards. You would pour the finish into a wet edge and roll the finish towards you, then forward and feather (lift) up. For water base, I recommend using a 1/4" nap 14" microfiber roller by Arroworthy. The handle will support both sides of the roller, which will allow for even flow. Much more balanced and faster. A 9" roller has a heavy side, which cause overflow or ridges in the finishes. More work with a 9" roller.

Thank you for the advice, but i do not have issues with bubbles. If, the finish is acclimated to room temperature. Bubbles are a rare issue with finishes. It is more common to have raised grains and particles in the finish. Which simply gets addressed with fine sanding and thorough cleaning. It is a common mistake that many make when evaluating finishing issues. Mistaking raised grains and particles in the finish for bubbles. Therefore making the wrong correction to the process, only ending up with the same issue. Follow manufacturing instruction and you will minimize a lot of finishing issues.

Rick, I too have been doing floors for over 20 years. I started out coating using the old school method like you, using a lambs wool. I later found out, that there was more benefits to using a roller: better build, longer lasting finish and less fatigue during application. Unless specified by the manufacturer, you can roll both water and oil base. Key to rolling water base: high quality finish (needs good quality leveling agent), cool temperature (around 60-65), no air flow, microfiber rollers (Arroworthy - blue candy stripe works well and is inexpensive),no thinning and do not over work product. Once you get use to it, you will like it.

@@drinny26 How many square feet is involved? What type of finish? It sounds like a water base system. If, you are talking about 200 sq. ft. That is doable for a 12 hour work day. I recommend telling them to only apply 2 coats max in one 8 hour day and have them make another trip for the final. The longer the finish dries in-between coats, the better. You will avoid poly beads in the joints. And they can give it a good buffing to smooth out the finish, when the finish is allowed more time to harden. Make sure they're following the manufacturer's guidelines for dry time and re-application. I don't see a reason why they need to rush the coating. Unless, they under bid the project or have a long travel time.

Do you soak the roller in thinner as you would a lambswool?
@Gandswoodfloorslynn6 жыл бұрын
The roller is stored in the finish.
@stp4796 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the answer-but I wasn't clear, do you presoak in thinner before use as you would lambswool? I do store in the poly, that works well vs daily cleaning or wrapping in plastic bags as I do with latex paintbrushes.
@Gandswoodfloorslynn6 жыл бұрын
No, we do not presoak in thinner. Directly into the oil base poly. We use new sets for latex, a 3 pack 3/8 nap microfiber roller under $10. Nylon brushes at $10-$13 each. Have one for sealers and two for poly. This helps prevent cross-contamination. Applicators are already included in the pricing.

You will end up with a thinner film build using a sponge or T-bar. You get a much higher build with a roller. There is no wrong way to apply it, if, you are getting consistent quality results. We are currently working on another video for rolling poly. Different pattern, much faster than the one shown here. It will be out soon.

Would you recommend this method on applying bona nordic?
@Gandswoodfloorslynn6 жыл бұрын
This method will work with Bona Nordic Seal. Be sure to apply the proper coverage and feather out start and stop points, along with keeping a wet edge. Nordic Seal has white pigments in it, which will be visible, if, you do not feather out your S&S points. Nordic Seal will set up fast, if, you apply a thin coat and you will end up with unwanted lap marks. Keeping a wet edge is critical. Always follow manufacturer's recommendation and guidelines for application.

@Gandswoodfloorslynn7 жыл бұрын
The smoothness of the polyurethane will depend on how well your abrasion and cleaning is done. If, not done well, it show through on your final coat. To fix the issue, you will need to abrade, clean, tack and re-coat.

Oil based poly? what type roller, cabinet nap?
@Gandswoodfloorslynn4 жыл бұрын
Yes, oil base poly. Use Loba or Pallman's 120 micron microfiber roller - $15 each. 3/8" nap. You can sub with Arroworthy 3/8" nap microfiber paint roller, but be aware of splatter and slings when rolling. You will need to slow down your rolling along walls. Slings and splatter created by the handle type.

What's the best way to clean your roller after you're done?
@Gandswoodfloorslynn7 жыл бұрын
5 in 1 tool to scrape particles off. Otherwise, we store it in finish, for the next job. Water base finish in clean water, oil base in oil finish. Everything else gets disposed: moisture cure & tung oil. Any applicators that are contaminated with particles and bad finish, gets tossed out and replaced. It's not unusual for us to use a new set for each job. Keeping the applicators particle free is more important for us. This prevents particles from being redeposited to the finish. It's always good to have a set for the first 2 coats and 1 set for the final for three coats of oil base poly. If, you use sealers, have a separate set for the sealer to prevent cross contamination.

I am using Bona Mega One on new stairs with red oak. Do I need to put on sealer of any kind before applying Poly?
@Gandswoodfloorslynn4 жыл бұрын
It depends on what you are trying to achieve. If, you applied a stain. No sealer is needed. If, it is a natural red oak look. You will want to use a sealer for better build, prevent side bonding and panelization. You can use it without a stain. This would be dependent on how well you prepped your wood surface. A rough surface would make application difficult and you would get improper film build needed for proper performance. Recommended surface finish is 150 grit for proper performance.

Will a roller work with oil based poly?
@Gandswoodfloorslynn5 жыл бұрын
Yes, you can roll both waterborne and oil base polyurethane. The most common mistakes made is not applying the proper coverage, improper sanding and abrasion. If, you do not apply enough, you will end up with roller marks. Improper sanding and abrasion will give you bad results - lines, bibles and rough spots. Use a microfiber roller for both types of finish.

@Gandswoodfloorslynn6 жыл бұрын
Our coatings lay out smooth. Room, floor, finish temperature, airflow and coverage is important. This helps the finish level itself out. The orange peel and bubbles will pop and level itself. The nap on your roller maybe too thick. 3/8 nap is a good thickness. Also, control your room temperature and airflow. In the video we applied oil base poly. Sorry, I do not know the color of the paint other than it is a Ben Moore paint. This was a clients property.

The product or the condition in your work place isn't correct, if, you are getting bubbles. Not all oil base product can be successfully rolled on. I recommend using Poloplaz Primero, Poloplaz Supreme or Bona Woodline. These polyurethanes have excellent leveling properties. Room temperature should be at 60-70 degrees, floor temperature should be relatively the same, your finish should not be applied cold, eliminate any air movement - including forced hot air heating and eliminate direct sunlight.
