How do i refinish my hardwood floors? I have oak t & g. Some has old mortar on it and some has adhesive on it.

the 1x3 oak will stand a lot of abuse, clean %26amp; scrape the adhesive off and use acetone to wipe clean...don't flood it.





'open the windows or use fan too'!





the mortor is easly scraped or chipped, but don't gouge the wood deeply. you need the wood neet, as the mortor will rip the paper and the adhesive will clog the paper when sanded.





you should have greaaat looking wood floor with character once finished. a destressed floor looks better than 'right out of the pkg' stuff.How do i refinish my hardwood floors? I have oak t %26amp; g. Some has old mortar on it and some has adhesive on it.
you can hire a machine to re-sand and then treat itHow do i refinish my hardwood floors? I have oak t %26amp; g. Some has old mortar on it and some has adhesive on it.
Make sure you are thru raising children before you do this. Home Depot or Lowes has the equipment to rent,to sand the floors, then use water base poly ( it dries faster) 2 coats min. 4 better.
30'; wide belt sander, sand it all the way down, polyurethane or tung oil to seal
