I did use a third of the traffic and hardener for my first coat and had a bit left over. maybe I applied it a little thinly, but didn't want to...
Thanks again Paul. A great piece of advice, again. Just out of interest, did you pour your finish onto the surface or roller try/scuttle bucket?...
Do you think the third coat is worth doing? Or leave it at 2 and chuck the almost third coat into the bin? If it wasn't almost a full coat,...
Fabulous finish Paul. Satin? Won't the floor take a bit less each coat? I've got 5 litres, Bona say 8-10m per l, so I'm thinking mix 17m, 16m,...
Hi everyone, I've just put down a coat of Bona natural primer (water based) over my newly sanded floor and have calculated that I have enough Bona...

Reluctantly, I have to agree with you Rugmuncher. I've seen stacks of DIY attempts that look awful but to the customer looks great I'm sure...
Oh well... a harsh lesson learnt. Thought my extensive research paid off after fitting it reasonably well and knowing enough to get through...
It looks likely I may have to get a few quotes. When I planned to do my own parquet as a DIY project I never considered hiring an orbital was...
