I would love to learn from you, great video sir
I second this.
Solid info, helped me decide what to do with my floors.
Great video!
thanks for sharing this !
Michael so I have watched your video a few times, so the Maroon pad as you said is to be used to clean with IFT solution and the Maroon Pad. I understand that. After the floor dries do I then take the screen to remove the old finish and then vacuum and then used the squeaky clean to neutralize the ph on floor from IFT. Then after it’s all picked up with vacuum then apply the Bona Mega.

As I point out in the video, I do not use a screen in any part of the sequence. The objective isn't to remove any coating but to thoroughly clean what's on the floor and create a surface that the coating will adhere to. Screens are very aggressive and will cause serious damage to old wood and old finish. You also have to be very careful if there are major color variations in the wood as they will show thru if you're not careful. If you do not have experience working with waterborne coatings, Mega is a very popular one, I would not encourage you to use it as they are very unforgiving. Waterborne products do not have a very long open time and set up and start drying very rapidly and this can create some serious problems that are not easily resolved. I applaud your willingness to take this on yourself but would encourage you to find someone with prior experience if at all possible.
Michael I understand what you say. I have seen many videos of guy’s cleaning the floors with the synthetic pads but after that is done then they remove the top finish on the floors so the stain or the urethane can adhere to the floor. You don’t mention that when you talk. Unless I misunderstood your explanation.
I have used 000 steel wool on my sidebyside Clark machine in 2010 then after all cleaning of floor applied Minwax oil polyurethane it took 6 days to dry. But the floors were so much better then before.
Now 13 years later I must do again. This time I will use a red pad and some OdoBan cleaner and then Clean it all up let dry a few hours then apply Pro Coat waterbase urethane. Wish me luck.
Michael thank you for all of your expertise just one last question.
How long before I move all furniture back into room with cushion tabs on bottom of all legs.
John, you keep acting as if my video is instructional in nature and it is not. It is nothing more than an overview of how we go about Clean & Recoat and the results we get to encourage prospective clients to use our service. I have never advised anyone to do this themselves but encourage them to hire someone with experience and a proven track record of successful projects. I don't recognize your sequence with pads and cleaners as something that will successfully clean the floor. Never heard of OdoBan and would never use steelwool, especially if you are going to use a waterborne product. If you have never used waterborne products, be prepared for a rude awakening because it is not forgiving at all. If your application is not done correctly you will not be able to correct it. As to when to move the furniture back in, that's a question you need to ask Pro Coat as every manufacturer has their own time line. Please, take my advice and hire someone with experience.
Thank you.
Been doing wood floors for 30 years, no doubt it’s an affordable option versus sanding, but a professional can always spot one of these floors, makes floor finish look thick, and typically the topcoat never adheres in spots and leads to the finish cracking or air pockets are created. I stay away from this process, too many problems come from this process. Still enjoy your videos
I take your point Adam. I rely on Basic Coatings IFT, Squeaky and Tycote when needed and have avoided the adhesion issues. What I enjoy the most though is the heaviest piece of equipment is a buffer and at my age, that’s a real plus. Take care and best wishes.
Thank you Sir, I’m thinking about redoing my living room floor with water base polyurethane but first I have to clean all the old oil base polyurethane most of it is off in walking area. Underneath couch and Table and chairs in fair condition but I’m assuming I need to remove the top coat of polyurethane and for that I believe I need to use the screen.
I see that Bona Mega was used do you recommend that product?
My floors are 73 years old original to the home. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
I’m to be 67 in a few months, I have all equipment except for water base Polyurethane and the stick with applicator.
Thank you Houli
Thank you for this video! What is the name of the cleaning pad you use? You said synthetic pad; I searched and it doesn’t come up in my results. Thank you!
The most common synthetic pad are maroon in color, readily available at wood floor distributors. Not sure if rental places would have them.
Hi can you tell what products you recommend to clean the floor. I see you are buffing on top of it. Is mega finsh still what you use to recoat
I use the Basic Coatings system of Intensive Floor Treatment (IFT) and Squeaky, to follow that per their instructions.
Do you clean with a dry pad, or should you use a wet method?
Clean thoroughly with a wet pad, let dry completely then dry prep with maroon pad.
@@RosebudCompany Maroon pad for both wet and dry passes?
I want to make my floor very shiny that if pet had an accident(peed) it would not stain the floor, what kind of coating do you recommend? thanks
Animal urine will stain gloss, stain or matte. The luster does not make any difference. I work primarily with waterborne finishes. Basic Coatings, Bona Kemi and Pallmann have good selections.
@@RosebudCompany Thank you for your prompt response. Would epoxy work as a sealant?
I have never worked with epoxy so I’m not the one to ask. I usually associate epoxy as being used on concrete or similar hard surfaces.
@@RosebudCompany I just watched your other video ruclips.net/video/iz2Umkmve1s/видео.html , my floor is the same, what kind of wood is that? can you please tell me which machine/pads did you use? my place/budge is really small, I'm attempting to do it myself. Thank you
@@TheBandoury i use Basic Coatings cleaning products, a buffer and several synthetic pads. the wood is oak. i do not recommend you trying this yourself as the finishes are not very forgiving and you could end up costing yourself a small fortune regardless the size of your budget.
Hello. Do you use a polyurethane type coating? If so, what brand?
I do work with polyurethanes but waterborne only. I have three manufacturers I rely on who have very strong product lines; Basic Coatings, Bona Kemi and Pallmann. If you don't have experience working with these products, I don't recommend using them as they are not forgiving to mistakes.
@@RosebudCompany. Thanks. Do you ever use Basic Coatings Refinisher? If so in what conditions would you use it versus true polyurethane?
@@zafferhead No, we only use the coatings full strength.
@@RosebudCompany. Thanks, I understand.
What’s the process to white wash
This video demonstrates how I use Clean & Recoat to refurbish an existing coating. Sorry but I'm not sure what you're talking about with white washing a wood floor.
@@RosebudCompany I’m sorry what I’m asking is I would like to strip the clear coating on the original floor and white wash stain the floor and seal the floor do I use this method, sand or screen
@@richardrivera9061 to do what you are wanting to do, you would have to get down to bare wood, to remove the finish entirely. no finish is removed in this process therefore you don't have the option of changing the color of the wood.
@@RosebudCompany ok great thank you I will get down to bare wood and then do the stain i appreciate your comment and help
@@richardrivera9061 my pleasure and best of luck.
Did you use the maroon pad dry after you Cleaned
Yes.
@@RosebudCompany the screen seemed really aggressive, would this same approach work with as square scrub or would the regular round buffer offer better results
@@jeffreycaldwell8836 i don't use them at all, on either machine so i'm not the guy you want to talk to about them.
