How to finish your floor patch

[@keithhboard84]

Just remember, it contains Silica. If you use a lot of it and need to do considerable amount of sanding you might consider using a respirator.

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

Yes, thank you for sharing

[@lareneandpipsqueeksully]

Thank you, I wondered after my patch work was a little bumpy on the edge. I am putting peel and stick tiles, after seeing how the tiles will show anything underneath that is not patched. Thanks again! Wow, that is so awesome!

i know Im quite off topic but does anybody know of a good site to watch new series online ?

[@brentleyryland9689]

@Emerson Tristen I dunno I use flixportal. you can find it thru google :P -brentley

@Brentley Ryland Thank you, I went there and it seems like a nice service :) Appreciate it!!

Back in the early '80s when I was doing a lot of flooring I got a custom too either latex underlayment or white fast patch that was easier to sand than the products today that you find at big box stores. The stuff today is like hard as concrete. What product for skin floating a floor is available today that is sandable easily sandable. Do they still make white underlayment. I use to use tex-rite products in Houston, Texas.

No such thing as overboard on prep my man. Good prep goes a long way!

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

Completely agree buddy

[@jamesalbright4666]

Thanks! The round sander looks easier to use then my 4.5” x 5” sander.

What grit sand paper should I use for this

[@alive-awake]

I wrongfully used this to patch two whole boards on my pergola. It's really irregular and my little sander doesn't do anything to it. What can I do to fix it?

[@hectorrojas9818]

Great videos! Is this a good replacement from the floor edger you use? And also what grit count did you use in this video for sanding down your mud?

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

Hector Rojas No I did not replace my floor edger, and I used a 60 grit sandpaper to sand over the mud, thank you for watching and thank you for the compliment

[@donaldjerome7281]

What should I use for floor patch.putting Mannington glue down floor .put 1/4 sure ply down. Any suggestions. Something that got some working time

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

Ardex feather finish

[@janetreedy679]

Help. I am very worried about the patching job I did on my bathroom floor, as I may have over-did it, and it’s somewhat uneven. And someone stepped on a patch before it was completely dry. (OK, it was me.). Anyway, would your method above work to smooth out my footprint. And will it smooth out the transition between my old vinyl and the patch?

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

If your footprint is not too deep and likewise with the transition

Very nice prep job.

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

Thank you sir

[@BillWalters77]

@@FloorsbySouthernboys I also discovered using a paint scraper with a carbide blade helped knock down the bigger stuff so sanding went faster. I wish I had seen your video before I fretted about how to do it :) Henry, DAP, and Custom Building Products, all have a similar product and those are what I found here in California at Home Depot & Lowes. Funny thing is Home Depot stocks them in different aisles in the store ?? go figure :) Thanks again for your great advise.

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

@@BillWalters77 😂😂You’re welcome sir

[@nickmargaglio8425]

Will vinyl adhere to that? If you were using flooring adhesive? Or should you prime it?

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

It will adhere to this

[@beetlejes]

Will this stuff work for plywood subfloor seams? I have found a somewhat flexible DAP product, but it's not in stock. Don't plywood seams/gaps, need to be able to shift over time?

[@beetlejes]

It's actually underlayment. We're installing sheet vinyl, and have installed wood underlayment over the subflooring. We need something to fill the seams between the underlayment sheets.

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

Yes the stuff will work for that, that’s exactly what I am doing in this video, and underlayment is secured where it will have no movement in it as far as expanding and contracting, it’s the way the plywood is made where it is a pretty stable product

[@beetlejes]

@@FloorsbySouthernboys The stuff we ended up having to buy is called, Henry Patch n Level. Do you think that's okay? What was the exact product you used, before you sanded? (Sorry, I assumed you had used the Henry stuff because this video came up when I was searching for Henry Patch n Level videos). I'm nervous about the Henry stuff because it doesn't mention anything about being flexible, like the out of stock DAP product.

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

@@beetlejes uzin 888 It’s going to be really good for you, it does not require any additives or primer, if you use the Henry I would definitely use an additive to make it bond better and I would probably prime the floor as well whenever are used for the Henry

[@alexcleroux3054]

Man that would make my job a lot easier can't wait to give it a shot.

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

Alex Cleroux Thanks for watching and yes it works great

[@jasonzupke1474]

I’m looking for a good floor patch that dries in a half a day.

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

What are used in this video is good

[@jasonzupke1474]

FloorsbySouthernboys I saw you used Uzin in the comments. It seems hard to find if I need it in a pinch.

[@geheri]

thank you so much for your help 👌🏻

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

Dj RIVAS Glad you enjoyed it

[@TheNewtsworld]

What did you use to level the floor

[@twofacepalmer1212]

There are several different types of floor leveling patchs. Not saying it's what he used but it looks similar to SimplePrep Floor Patch www.homedepot.com/p/Custom-Building-Products-SimplePrep-1-Qt-Pre-Mixed-Floor-Patch-FPQT/100678072

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

Uzin 886 or 888 i can’t remember

[@jshomeservices376]
