Flooring Bubbles
We had our floors repaired and refinished after a tenant did some damage. The floors were stripped and stained and 3 layers of oil based protection. There were extreme lines all over the floors so we asked the company to come back and fix it. We had already paid them but they did. The second time the result is bubbles between the boards. The bubbles look almost like sap, they are sticky. Anyone know how we can remove them without sanding them off and re-coating it for a third time? The flooring company is MIA. This unit is vacant so there has been no activity and the temperatures have been mild. Hoping since the bubbles are only in between the boards it’s something that can avoid redoing it again. This has been much more difficult and expensive process than I expected!

Comments (4)Outside of out and out holes in pipes or roots in the line it is actually pretty hard to judge condition from the inside. You can find 'bellies' (low spots that do not drain) and blockages, but the line could be leaking at the joints and you are very unlikely to see it from the inside. If the vent is blocked you are only going to see it if you feed the camera down from the roof (and manage to enter the blocked vent0 or up from below (and manage to enter the blocked vent)....See MoreStain bubbling on Porch Floor - what's wrong?

Comments (18)I sent a longish response earlier - don't know why it didn't post. We used regular sanded CBP and added glitter to it: Hemway (Silver Holographic) Glitter Grout Tile Additive 100g for Tiles Bathroom Wet Room Kitchen | Easy to use - Add/Mix with Epoxy Resin or Cement Based Grout | Temperature Resistant. It worked great and we still love it after 18 months of heavy use. In the past we used the Bostik Dimension Diamond Pre-Mixed Glass-Filled Grout. It is expensive and the results were - meh. If it is the same tile, try to lay it out on the floor beforehand. It is about 1/3 the price of similar tile, but the sheets don't line up well. We ended up having to push in individual bubbles to plug the gaps. The other thing we learned: Don't cut the bubbles to make the sheets flush against the walls. It looks better to just have the grout fill the gaps....See MoreBubble tile on floor?
Comments (5)What is the DCOF? Does the manufacturer rate that for floor tile? In writing? Most do not, as glass is too slippery and prone to impact shatter damage to be used with bare feet and water....See More
