How To Apply Water Based Floor Finish - Loba Life Satin (Ep#57)

[dianabriggs]

I’ve never finished a floor before, but it was time to redo our floating cork floors. The manufacturer told us to use only Loba 2K Supra. You just saved me so much time- this is way easier than what I was going to do! Thanks!

I've gotta try Loba, keep hearing great things about it. Right now I'm using Procoat Aquapro & pallman x power

[jackvaughan]

I pour lines the same way, much faster, no drips everywhere from dunking, gets a consistent spread.

With loba you can absolutely do this, bona is a little pickier about pouring on bare wood

[sleepyboy]

Looking great as always, the floor ain't too bad either

[MoFoJerry]

I use to do the pour thing but realized it goes between gaps causing too much waste. I never had issues dipping into the bucket which is a method that is also taught by Loba and other manufacturer.

Great content. I have been watching all your videos. I have a few questions if you don't mind.

Do I need to sand between coats of this finish?
If so, what is the wait time before applying more coats?

[davidtucker]

I’ve been using loba for years .. there is no need for the bag in the bucket . Just use the bucket and won’t have any drying problems..also the 120 micron roller is designed to absorb the proper amount for applying a 36 square ft area .. much better results ..imo

I never pour water based onto the floor in puddles like this video shows. You are asking for trouble. If the finish seeps down between the planks and can cause the edges to curl. I always use a bucket and dip my roller in the finish. I’ve never had problems with the finish drying on the side of the bag.

I'm looking for a stain color for red oak floors that are sanded bare currently. What color stain is on this project ?. It look nice, no "orange" showing thru from the red oak. Thanks, great videos.

What’s your opinion on Loba vs Bona Traffic Hd? I just finished sanding my floors and I’m looking for a good stain brand and finish that doesn’t “ember/yellow” with time

[nancychen]

What are your thoughts on Loba 2K Supra AT satin finish? Can we use the finish after sanding and sealer without using a stain. Thanks.

I just used a water based polyurethane on my hardwood floors because we refinished them but someone on fb told me I should have used oil or a wax because the maintenance for water based is a lot. Is he true?

[Adonaisbondservant]

Do you have any problems not using their primer?

[anthonyperla]

I get what you say brother but when you're coating 4k sqft there is no way you can do it like that you need to move quickly to be able to get it done but appreciate the tips

[hellyeah]

Yeah so water based doesn't have time to dry to the side of a bucket then attach to the roller. Even doing say a 100sqm that never happens.

[Outlook]

No real roll pattern like their other stuff then . Just even coverage ?

[jonellwanger]

Uh…. Maybe you should talk to a Loba Rep. your working the finish way to much. YouTube floor guys are a hilarious!

[shawnsturgeon]

You’re wrong, supposed to stir not shake and you shouldn’t put more than two coats in one day.

[KjbuckeyeHomeImprovements]

This guy is going to sit here and talk about everyone else’s work, while he shakes polyurethane, which should never be shook always, stirred
