Rosewood dining table scratch repair?
Comments (1)Paste wax is the "polish" of choice for me....and that will likely make the scratch in the finish pretty much unnoticable....See MoreDamaged oak front door - How to repair/protect finsih
Comments (2)Is rain hitting the door at times? It looks like it has occasionally gotten soaked. There is nothing you can do after the door is assembled to get the joinery water resistant; the pieces need to be prefinished along every surface prior to assembly. Clear finishes in an outdoor environment always demand scrupulous care and regular maintenance. Casey...See MoreFurniture Repair need recommendations
Comments (4)Mohawk is a line of professional refinishing products. With a deep scratch you need a burn in stick. They come in all colors and you can even match grain pattern. I use to be able to fill a drilled hole in a cabinet and even a trained eye would have difficulty finding the repair. Have not worked with those products in years, but they are still one of the best sources. They do have a number of locations....See MoreHelp! Large gaping on newly installed solid bamboo floors
Comments (48)I know this thread has gone stale but I think I've found an issue with the LACK of subfloor prep: "They found composite tiles under the underpayment which neither we nor they knew about (it was coming up with the laminate removal so had to remove it all. We would have uneven floors) and that had to be removed so and extra $1000+ charge" I'm going to guess the removal of the composite tile (?anyone check for asbestos if the tile was from the 80's?) really mucked things up. The laminate was 'happy' sitting on the tile (I know...it wasn't supposed to be happy, but it was). The removal of the tile *MIGHT have caused some weird domino effect. I'm so sorry this has happened. It should not be part of your life to live through a shoddy bamboo install. With floating bamboo (click-together bamboo is notorious for issues...as in FAMOUS for having issues that reputable companies do NOT want to have anything to do with it) it is IMPERATIVE that all flatness ratings be taken. That expansion and transition strips are used through doorways. That all pinch-points are dealt with appropriately. Etc. If you are still dealing with this, please up date us. And if you can, please add photo re: doorways from hallway into other rooms (like the bedroom with the gap). And finally, bamboo is UNSTABLE. Laminate is very stable. I'm guessing the perfect storm occurred in your home. And another issue: bamboo needs +++time to acclimate. And it takes a special meter (an expensive meter) to take moisture readings of the bamboo (and then it takes someone special to KNOW HOW to use the special meter). I don't think you had anyone 'special' working on this project. I'm so sorry this has happened....See MoreGwen Speicher
