MickinMD ★ Posted November 20, 2020 Share #6 Posted November 20, 2020 In the 90's, they used to have more people with expertise working at Lowe's and Home Depot. For example, I bought a house with awful, old, stained wall-to-wall carpeting that hid excellent maple hardwood floors under it. My father knew how to use a floor sander - basically just keep moving it around when it's turned on - and we went to Home Depot to get stain and polyurethane coating. A worker there told us to forget about the stain and recommended a Behr polyurethane. He said that after I applied the first coat, some fibers of the freshly sanded wood would absorb some of it and stand up a little. I needed to very lightly sand that first coat after it dried. Since I had no experience, he recommended that I avoid an electric sander and do it by hand with 120 grit (I think) sandpaper wrapped around a block of wood so I wouldn't take too much of the first coat off. Then, vacuum and wipe off the floor and put the second coat on. That worked fantastic! I don't think I can get that level of advice like that in chain hardware stores now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get that advice off Utube before you go to the store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
