In this video, I will show you how to apply polyurethane (floor finish) to hardwood floors. We will apply a water-based commercial-grade finish to black walnut wood flooring. However, this method works for pretty much all finishes and all types of wood flooring. I will show you how to roll the polyurethane on and how to brush the edges. We will also cover whether you should dunk your roller in a bucket or pour the poly onto the floor.

I normally use a lambswool to apply my water based finish and it flows out pretty evenly and smooth however I am going to be doing a floor soon and was wondering with using a roller does the floor have an orange peel like feel or does it flow out and become smooth ?

How many coats of Polyurethane finish? One or can you do two. The natural wood sealer was applied on the new floor first already.

I’m going to be doing a job for a friend, he just bought his new house and wants new poly finish. My go to is the 3M SPP pad to remove the old poly. I see some pros laying a base coat before laying poly, is this required? Or can I lay the first coat after cleaning the floor?

Did you sand down the previous finish? Or is it ok to apply the ultra matte finish directly without sanding? I’m interested in doing it to my floors

My contractor wants to use varathane or duraseal to refinish our hardwood. Are they good products?

So I’m doing my first poly project and I’ve applied two coats with a sheep’s wool applicator pad. I’ve sanded in between coats and will be doing my third coat tomorrow. Why does my floor look gritty…after sanding with 220 grit I’ve vacuumed and mineral spirit wiped down the flooring allowing to dry. Does it just need more coats? I’m using zar oil modified poly
