Nail holes in oak...
Comments (8)Glenn - the parquet itself is very thin, seems like someone did an uneven sanding job at some point. It's as little as 1/8" thick in some spots, up to about 3/8" in others. The main floor itself is 3/4" tongue and groove with no subfloor - just directly nailed to the joists. When I get to refinishing these (hopefully next weekend) I'll be sanding the parquet with a hand held random orbital and with normal sandpaper - even with the big random orbitals, I'm worried about removing too much material on the parquet - the center will be sanded with a rented random orbital. Thanks! MPEDrummer...See MoreBest way to fill nail holes in oak desk that I'm refinishing?
Comments (17)It has been my experience that if a really good match---like with the Stain Putty---is not possible---like trying the color sticks/sawdust and glue/---making the filler lighter is less eye catching. I did several hundred feet of pine crown molding, stained dark walnut. The home owner specificially mentioned he wanted no conditioner---he wanted the color differences from the stain to show. And with even good stain grade pine, there was a LOT of difference. It was in a room with 7' ceilings and a soffit for HVAC in the center the length of the room that was 10" below the ceiling. I used a 16 gauge nailer and had a lot of nail holes to fill. I made up two batches of Stain Putty----one with the dark walnut stain and another with pecan stain. The dark walnut Stain Putty was a perfect match for the darker areas---but would have stood out like a sore thumb on the lighter areas. The pecan was a bit lighter than the light areas and was a fdair match---the HO could not see the filled holes----and he is a professional painter---has owned his own company for 30 years....See MoreFilling nail holes in trim

Comments (9)Expansion gaps is different from using adhesives as a fastener. I was skeptical about the product working at first, also. But if, you are using the correct type of adhesive (Silane based polymer) for solid wood. The flooring will be able to expand and contract as needed. The adhesive never hardens. Polyurethane adhesives are brittle, after it is cured. Not recommended for solid wood flooring. The conditions do have to meet the adhesive mfg's guidelines, though....See MoreRelated Professionals
