Wish this was in my feed 2 days ago. Just have my whole house sanded. Original floors in distress from 1950. I hope I did an okay job.

What final grit do you recommend for newly installed pine floors that will be sealed with Bona Classic and then finished with Bona Traffic HD?

Hello,

Thank you for a very informative video.

Just a question how do you remove groves, stop and start marks and gouges.

Thank you.

I'm planning to refinish some fir flooring (1910's 3/4 x 3.25'' t&g). The floors are in good shape (tight and flat) but have some glue residue in spots from sheet vinyl. What grit sequence (& equipment) do you recommend? I've sanded oak before, but these are obviously much softer. Thanks for any advice.

Just to be clear

The 1st cut is on a slight angle.

Tve 2nd cut is straight

But the final cut is that straight or on an angle as that wasnt mentioned?
