Cross-measure room...not matching yet, then?
Yes, I had time too, I applied on half the floor, then waited 20-40 minutes and then wiped. I did an overlap when I divided the room, nothing is visible, I even walked on the newly treated area, just wiped away the footprints. And nothing is visiblenino said:Ok I use an oil-based stain from Bona, there you have a long time and there is little risk of overlapping. I always use a polishing machine, both for application and polishing.
You should probably have had a Rotex 150 for edge sanding.
Hope you manage to fix it anyway, it's unfortunate that it ended up like this now when you finally got the laying right
I don't know if it would have helped using a machine to stain or not. I'm using coarser paper 100, while the company used 120,
Are you sure you want it that dark then? It looked very blotchy everywhere in my opinion. I would definitely switch to either Bona that nino recommended or Osmos tinted hard wax oil.
I've already bought "color" for 1500kr, so I'm not inclined to buy another one.falkn said:
I'm satisfied with the color, it got the darkness I wanted.
And about patchiness, that's true, since wood is living, I think it's difficult to get all pieces to absorb equally and achieve exactly the same shade.
The manufacturer also recommends using a machine to apply it, which I haven't done. I might sand the edges, test treating the edges, and then let it dry to apply another layer of color, but with a machine.
Today, I called around to find someone who can sand where we need to pigment. It was much harder than I expected; I got in touch with a guy, but he couldn't do it until after the summer... so I had to make a few more calls... I think it was call number 5 who could sand them!!!
It's completely crazy, it seems there's a shortage in that profession. He's supposed to come and take a look next week, so we'll see what he says.
IF he fails and, can one demand that they redo it and get compensation for my oil?
