Hardwood flooring supplies that you must have when planning to refinish
|
Here are the hardwood flooring supplies that you shouldn't start the job without: Drum sanderThis will help you to get the floor smooth and level as well as get off what is left of the old finish. This is a priority step and it cannot be skipped no matter what. If you don't have one of these sanders then you will want to rent one from the local rental store or hardware store. There are many places this can be done and there is no reason why you should have to buy one, they are expensive so stick with renting. Floor edgerThis is a must have for the right kind of job. BufferThis will help you to get the floor as smooth and polished as can be at the end of the job. It will bring out the luster more than nay of the other hardwood flooring supplies. Palm sanderThis is perfect for smaller sections and the corners. Putty knife and scraperYou will find all kinds of uses for these. Safety gearYou need to have all of the basics such as ear and eye protection and dust masks. You don't want to get the wet finish or any of the dust from the floor in any orifice. That can only lead to pain and trouble! Brushes and applicatorsGood strong natural brushes are the way to go. You may want to consider lamb's wool and other natural bristles/ Foam applicators are another popular way to go and they work just as well, some people even prefer them to the brushes for this part of their hardwood flooring supplies.
