Does anyone use these for laminate/wood fitting?.Im sure that we have all installed a floor and realised that in the middle is a chip on the edge of a board/plank.
Looked at taking these on a few years ago, but I wasn't convinced that camoflarging a problem was the correct thing for professional installers to do
Yes easy when you have been shown how. Rugrat, its fine to use fillers on wooden floors as its natural it will obviously have imperfections. Maybe stock these for real wood floors? But ye, on a new laminate floor you should be replacing the plank. Not always possible tho so if you can fill a laminate plank and get it invisible, no one needs know it has been repaired!
The intention was to fill or omit out any flaws etc that could have already been there and you/me might have not seen when installing even only the smallest of blemishes.Not trying to cheat customers it just means that a professional solution is in use as when a customer needs a repair further down the line,alike to a cookie cutter in carpets.
I see your point, but would you tell the customer? If you bought a new car and the sales man took out a repair on a paint chip by using a paint touch up bottle would you be happy? I dont know. I see that it would be difficult to take out the board and replace, but I just did not like the Idea of wax and pens in particular the pen peoples artistic skills are not always upto much.
I remember fitting a Barratt house years ago about 40 miles away and all carpets cut up with none spare,my lad (at the time) got a bit excited with the kicker(behave Ted) and a square of carpet ended up on the kicker head and luckily it was in a corner so i pieced it and you couldnt tell so there you gne examle of when its professional to use skillful tactics and by the way a snagging team could have gone back later on to change the piece if any problems occur.
I had a kicker that did that, i put it in my shed. It done it about 3 times and no other stretcher has done that, has anyone else had that problem?, and what would cause it?.
I had a kicker that I changed the cotton heads on and it started scuffing. Checked the holes that the cotton heads were screwed on with and they weren't counter sunk so the screw heads sat proud. This ment that the head wouldn't bed in properly. Took cotton heads off and counter sunk holes - hey presto, no more scuffing.
