[@WyomingWoodFloors]

Thanks Ivan! We have tried a number of different combinations for sanding gym floors. Currently we sand to 80 grit with our big machines & edgers, then screen with 100 grit.

Hi Mr. Nelson. Thank you for Sharing. Do you need to be a union contractor to get into this kind of work?

[@WyomingWoodFloors]

@@MrAppletown in some areas I am sure that would be required. Other places it is not.

[@MrAppletown]

Thanks. Your videos are great

Wow great work what product did you used

[@WyomingWoodFloors]

We used Minwax stain W/ stain conditioner. Thanks for watching!!

Very good video. I have a question about what find of paint you use and what finish you use? I'm making a coffee table that looks like a basketball court so I'm just wondering what would be best paint and finish to use?

[@WyomingWoodFloors]

We like Bona products, they make gym floor paint & finish. On your coffee table project, any good quality interior latex paint should work. Buff the surface well with light sandpaper or steel wool! Sounds like a fun project! Thanks for watching!!

Mr. Nelson what type of dust collection is that on the back of that ryder?

[@WyomingWoodFloors]

A type that has cost us a lot of $$ and apparently needs some additional work! We had to suspend work on it for this year….. but dust collection for gym floors is very HIGH on our “to do” list!

Hey paul i have a gym in church that has VCT floor.. can i strip and wax with out totally ruing the basketball striping?

[@WyomingWoodFloors]

Maybe…. But my gut feeling is that you will likely damage the game lines. Email me your number at: [e-mail] and I will call you to discuss.
