THE SANDING PROCESS |
|||||||||
| Step 1 The first step in the sanding process is to fix loose boards and check for vulnerable wires and heating pipes before the boards are nailed down again. |
Step 2 If you are having the gaps filled between the boards this comes next. (gap filling) The filler or wood strips will be level with the boards after sanding. |
Step 3 The floor will be sanded several times starting with a coarse grade sanding sheet and ending with a fine grade. |

| Step 4 This is the edging machine and the next step in the sanding process |
Step 5 When I am satisfied that all the boards are clean and silky smooth I apply the first of 3 coats of varnish with a roller on a long handle. |
Step 6 In between each coat of varnish, once dry, I sand the varnish by hand with a palm sander as the first coat always raises the grain of the wood slightly. |
