Hi, Nice job. I thought you have to apply the stain and then wipe it down with rags? I just sanded the floor and and I want to apply Duraseal Coffee stain. I bought a lambswool applicator as you have, but everything I've seen shows a wipe down a few minutes after the stain is applied. What are your thoughs? THANKS!
Hey sorry I wasn't getting notifications on this video for a long time for some reason. This video is post stain, we apply the stain in about 3 foot wide paths with the grain, then use 2 sets of t-shirt rags to wipe off. I prefer to work left to right, right hand Wipes first, then left hand (with drier rags) Wipes second and makes sure that there are no streaks or too much stain left. I try to basically wipe all of it off that will come off.
Well did 3 coats of this stuff and sanded inbetween, just checked the work today and got tiny bubbles on the last coat which is unreal. No bubbles when putting the stuff into the bucket and it was mixed with a stick and no stirred. Just ran across a thread on the wood forums with other floor techs complaining and calling it durabubble. Any thoughts on what to do now? I am waiting on the last coat to dry but I already say tiny bubbles in the finish. Thanks in advance.
@@chvydrptop first off all poly has bubbles when put on wrong. Either using the wrong application or user issues. So, dont act like duraseal ks the problem because every proffesional has problems with different stuff. So stick with your crappy minwax and shut up
+Sean Raden oh man you trolls are still allowed on the internet? Dude no one cares wtf you think and my comments weren't addressed to you, why don't you go back to your little baby play pen and mind your business? 🍼
For anyone else reading this, the industry standard for viewing the floor is normal standing height. My floors came up exceptionally well. I also tried 2 products in 2 different areas fabulon and duraseal. Both very close but duraseal seemed to be a hair better when examining up close. Make sure to cut all airflow to the area for at least an hour to prevent dust specs from showing up, then run fan at one of the windows in nearby room to get air exchanged. Thanks for the video.
Why go through the painstaking process of taping all around the edges and risk puddles along them by running the applicator all the way up to them when you can just cut them in with a brush?
I don't have any problems with puddles. It is way faster to coat and when you are doing a floor that is cut up time is your enemy you'll have a tendency to leave dry lines where you've had to stop and come back to it so the faster you can get back to it the better
I put down the durasil water-based sealer. It's been six days and it's not completely dry, it's still a little tacky.How do I fix it

Does it clean off the brush well? Reason why I ask is I would like to do one room at a time.
Is this oil or water base?
Thanks for sharing your technique, how many layers of seal do you normally apply and how long do wait between applications?
I usually use 3 coats it dries in about 10 hrs under normal conditions

if it is puddling up against the edge then you are coating it too wet. (for this product)
What's wrong with shellac wood sealer
It's very gummy and requires a lot of maintenance.
